Customs boss urges Nigerians to support Tinubu’s economic policies
The new area comptroller of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Ogun Area 1 Command, James Ojo, has appealed to Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu’s government’s policy of revamping the nation’s economy.
Mr Ojo appealed while speaking with journalists on Monday in Ota, Ogun, saying the policies may be perceived as difficult and unfriendly in some quarters, but in the long term, they can have great benefits.
“Rice is an example of one of the staple foods eaten in many homes in the country, but its importation through the land borders was prohibited by the federal government to encourage local production and self-sufficiency.
“The persistent smuggling of rice will continue to hinder our economic growth and development as a nation.
“Let us give the required support and cooperation to the federal government and NCS to overcome the economic situation in the country by God’s grace,” he said.
