The National Council of Managing Director of Licensed Customs Agents, (NCMDLCA) has said the National Assembly cannot reverse the decision of the Federal Government to ban vehicles coming in the nation through land borders.
The National President of the Council, Mr. Lucky Amiwero revealed this while speaking to newsmen. Amiwero noted that the National Assembly can only appeal the ban since it is an executive order from the presidency rather than giving a counter order to have the ban reversed.
Amiwero said the matter can be resolved if both the executive and legislative come together in the interest of Nigerians to review the policy.
He said until the government review the tariffs on trade, the country will keep losing cargo traffic to ports of neighbouring countries.
Recall that the Senate last week called on the Federal Government to suspend the enforcement of ban on importation of vehicles through land borders.
However, the Nigeria Customs Service has said there is no going back on the FG’s ban which according to the NCS has been effective since January 1 this year.
