An official statement released on Monday by Wale Adeniyi, the
spokesman of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), states that the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government has banned the
importation of cars through land borders.
“Importation of vehicles into Nigeria through the land borders
has been banned by the federal government. The prohibition order covers
all new and used vehicles,” he said.
He said the new policy followed a presidential directive
restricting all vehicle imports to Nigeria’s sea ports, adding that the
order takes effect from January 1, 2017.
“The restriction on importation of vehicles follows that of
rice, whose imports have been banned through the land borders since
April 2016.
“Importers of vehicles through the land borders are requested
to utilize the grace up till 31st December 2016 to clear their vehicle
imports landed in neighbouring ports,” he added.
