BUSINESS & FINANCE: SULTAN WANTS BAN ON IMPORTATION OF RICE THROUGH LAND BORDERS LIFTED

Tuesday, June 14, 2016 Posted by Karifest Duchess No Comments

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, on Monday called on the management of the Nigeria Customs Service to consider the possibility of lifting the ban on the importation of rice through the nation’s land borders.

Speaking when the Comptroller-General of the Service, Col. Hameed Ali, paid him a courtesy visit in his palace in Sokoto, the monarch said the policy of the government has brought untold hardship to the Nigerian masses and aggravated the scarcity of food in the country.

“This policy should be revisited with a view to making amends and ameliorate the suffering of Nigerians,” he said.

The monarch stated that he has been receiving complaints of the masses on the present hardship in the country and called on the customs boss to therefore brainstorm with his management team in this direction.
