The Nigerian Customs, NCS, has announced that it has resumed the seized food items to vulnerable Nigerians to tackle hunger across the nation.

The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, Adewale Adeniyi stated this on Tuesday on the floor of the House of Representatives during the sectoral debate series which also had in attendance the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari.

He said President Bola Tinubu has ordered that food items produced in Nigeria and seized at the Nigerian land borders, be sold directly to vulnerable Nigerians to ease the challenge of hunger in the country.

“Mr President has directed that we sell directly to needy Nigerians food items produced locally but which were seized. This is one of the ways to address hunger and food scarcity we are facing. We have started this in Lagos.

“Also, the President has also directed that imported food items seized by the Nigeria Customs Service should be sold back to the local markets for resale to Nigerians,’’ he said.
