Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The acting Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Bashir Adeniyi, has said he would recommend to the Federal Government the need to lift the ban on fuel supply to border communities.<\/p>\n

Adeniyi spoke during his working visit to the Idiroko border in Ogun State on Sunday, during which he hinted that the Nigeria Customs Service would seek a review of the fuel supply ban to border communities following the removal of fuel subsidy.<\/p>\n

Monarchs in Ipokia Local Government Area had lamented the suffering of their subjects due to the lingering ban on fuel supply to towns that fall within a 20-kilometre radius of the border.<\/p>\n

The traditional rulers said a litre of fuel is currently being sold for N1,000 per litre in their communities.<\/p>\n

Responding, Adeniyi said: \u201cThis directive was given by the Office of the National Security Adviser. It was given before the removal of subsidy. So, now that subsidy has been removed, there should be a need for a review of that policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He assured the people that he would \u201cmake appropriate recommendations and request a review of the policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am optimistic that we are going to have some positive reviews,\u201d the acting Comptroller-General said.<\/p>\n

In his welcome address, Customs Area Controller Bamidele Makinde applauded the acting Comptroller-General for the visit, saying it would serve as a morale booster and enhance the performances of the officers.<\/p>\n

Bamidele assured Adeniyi of the command\u2019s determination to fight smuggling and other acts sabotaging the nation\u2019s economy across Ogun\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n
