The Federal Government has placed a ban on the importation of small generators popularly known as ‘I pass my neighbour.’
Controller, Federation Operations Unit Zone A, Lagos of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Mr Madugu Sanni Jubrin, made this disclosure in Lagos while speaking with newsmen.
According to him, the command confiscated 4,733 goods worth N52 million and arrested some suspected smugglers since he assumed duties one week ago.
The custom boss said the seizures were made possible through intelligence gathering and other measures put in place by the unit with a view to ensuring that the supply chains of smugglers were fully blocked.
“The
smaller generators have been banned by the Federal Government because
it is causing air pollution and destruction of our lungs and breathing
system. That is why they have banned it but people are still interested
in smuggling them in, that is why we intercepted them”, he said
