The
Federal Government has said that from Jan. 1, 2017 all vehicle
imports into the country will be from Nigeria’s Sea ports only not
through land borders.In a statement on Monday in Abuja, Mr Wale
Adeniyi, the Nigeria Customs Service Public Relations Officer, stated
that “the prohibition order covers all new and used vehicles”.
Adeniyi
also said the ban was sequel to a presidential directive restricting
all vehicle imports to Nigeria’s Sea ports only, adding that the
order takes effect from Jan. 1, 2017.
“The
restriction on importation of vehicles follows that of rice; import
of rice through land borders has been banned since April 2016.
“Importers
of vehicles through the land borders are requested to utilise the
grace period until Dec. 31, 2016 to clear their vehicle imports
landed in neighbouring Ports,” Adeniyi said.
