Nigeria has banned the importation of a very common brand of generators locally called “I better pass my neighbour”.
The Controller, Federation Operations Unit Zone A, Lagos of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Madugu Sanni Jubrin, who disclosed this, yesterday, said, “the smaller generators have been banned by the Federal Government because it is causing air pollution and destruction of our lungs and breathing system.
“That is why they have banned it but people are still interested in smuggling them in, that is why we intercepted them. If you go to the market, you still see them because people have imported them before the ban.
So it is the leftover they had before the ban that they are selling because the law did not backdate the ban and it is not an absolute prohibition.
It is prohibition by trade which means you cannot bring it in large quantity and sell to the public. That is the type of prohibition we have on this but if you buy one piece, Customs will not seize it”. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

DeleteLET THE GOVERNMENT STABILIZES POWER, OTHER THINGS WILL FALL IN PLACE, INCLUDING NON PATRONAGE OF GENERATORS AND DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THERE WILL BE EVENTUALLY NO MARKET FOR IT.
DeleteAh Ah! This government is insensitive. So what do the barbers and petty traders do when there is no light?
ReplyDeleteOne should advise this government to focus majorly on d pressing issues affecting d entire citizenry, rather than dwelling on frivolities. Fuel scarcity has been drastically affecting d economy in d past weeks, yet, no solution on sight. You can only talk about prohibition, after making an alternative provision for d people. Are we now having stable electricity supply in d country ? As events are unfolding, we are watching.
