The Federal Government has banned the importation of small generators popularly called ‘I pass my neighbor,’ used mainly by low-income Nigerians. This was made known in Lagos by Madugu Sanni Jubrin, Controller, Federation Operations Unit Zone A, Lagos of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).
Speaking on why the ban on importation of commercial quantities of the small generators was necessary, Jubrin 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.” He however added that “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. what do u tink?
