President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he intentionally implemented a ban on the importation of certain goods into Nigeria as part of his administration’s development strategies.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that he made this statement on Tuesday during the inauguration of the newly constructed Customs Headquarters in Abuja, which cost N19.6 billion.
Buhari emphasised that these policies were designed to benefit the nation and its people, ultimately becoming legacy programs.
He cited the ban on imported rice as an example of such a policy.
He explained, “I deliberately closed the borders. I said it is either you eat what you grow or you grow what you eat, and later Nigerians appreciated it.”
Regarding corruption, the president asserted his transparency, stating that those who criticise Nigerian leaders for embezzlement and misconduct would find themselves at odds with him.
Buhari emphasised the importance of maintaining a cordial relationship with neighbouring African countries, noting that his first visits as president were to Niger, Chad, and Cameroon. He believed that securing their trust was vital to avoiding potential challenges.
This newspaper reports that the newly inaugurated Customs corporate headquarters, commonly referred to as “Customs House,” is situated in the Maitama area of Abuja.
The impressive building features a 12-floor tower with five floors on each wing, interconnected by bridges.
The project, conceived in 2002, aims to create a comfortable and conducive working environment for staff and authorised visitors.
