President Tinubu ordered the Customs to give back all the seized food items at the border to their owners.
The condition was that the items should be sold in Nigerian markets to help increase food availability.
The Controller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, had disclosed that Tinubu made the decision to use his authority not based on legal guidelines, “but rather reflecting the deep sense of generosity he holds towards Nigeria.”
