Richard Mofe-Damijo, veteran actor has urged the Nigeria Customs Services (NCS) to give out seized food items in its custody to help the poor amid the countrywide lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In a post shared on his social media page on Wednesday, the fashionable role interpreter said such measure has become imperative to help those worst-hit by the sit-at-home directive in the country.
“Sitting here wondering if this wont be a good time for government to ask Customs about all the plenty seized rice, tomato, vegetable oil and all the other food items they have in their possession and give out to our people in need,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Whilst thanking them for reduced fuel prices at this time (inject smiley face)and all the other efforts so far, food is a major part of this lock down.
“I know sometimes the agencies of government don’t work as a team but please this is the time for customs to step and tell us how much relief they can bring to Nigerians. #giveoutseizedfooditems
#customshelpus #rmdsaysso.”
