An estimated N188.37 billion will be reportedly forfeited by the Nigeria Customs Service in the six months within which the Tariff-free foods imports of President Bola Tinubu would be implemented.
The Comptroller-General (CG) of the NCS, Mr. Wale Adeniyi, disclosed this at an ongoing Public Lecture and Book Presentation of Economic Confidential in Abuja.
According to the CG, food security, as a national security issue, required a well-coordinated approach from all stakeholders.
