The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced plans to distribute seized food items across the country in response to the prevalent hardships faced by Nigerians.

The Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, revealed that the food items would be distributed after undergoing certification to ensure their fitness for consumption.

In a statement released on Tuesday by Abdullahi Maiwada, the Customs National Public Relations Officer, Adeniyi reiterated the NCS’s commitment to advancing President Bola Tinubu’s food security agenda.

“Furthermore, to alleviate the hardships faced by Nigerians and improve access to essential food items, the Nigeria Customs Service will facilitate the direct disposal of food items forfeited to the Federal Government.
