FG to suspend taxes on food importation by fergie001: 4:53pm On Jul 08
The Federal Government has announced that duties, tariffs and taxes on the importation of maize, husked brown rice, wheat and cowpeas will be suspended.

In a statement by Abubakar Kyari, minister of agriculture and food security, on Monday, the suspension is part of measures to be implemented over the next 180 days to ameliorate food inflation in Nigeria.

Tim bom Tim bom government

Trial and error

If you like remove all the taxes there won't be any difference

You see that your subsidy is gone statement that's what will bring down your government and expose your empty head

You float naira and remove subsidy you were doing everything thinking that Nigeria is Lagos.

The Senate and house of Reps are just useless followed by the judiciary they are just allowing the executives to deal with the masses anyhow they chooses

Very soon the FG will begin paying people to import foodstuff because local food production and distribution channels can not meet local demand from the growing population.

How will it meet local demand, when the big for nothing north has turned all their arable land into terrorists and IDP zones.

They are only good at dragging land mass with SE meanwhile Switzerland that is landlocked and smaller than SE has more GDP than the entire Nigeria. Shame on the Zoo.

They are also good at dragging Oil Wells with SS. Check out this article ( 83% of Nigeria Oil blocks owned by Northerners. ) Why are strangers controlling your common wealth and you are scraping for pipeline security job. Another shame.

This is laudable but I feel they've gone to far.

A 20% duty would have sufficed. This would have earned the government probably trillions of Naira in Import duty.

Hmmm, Nigeria my country:
Re: FG to suspend taxes on food importation by Fuckyoumod: 5:22pm On Jul 08
Tinubu is a wicked man. you took less than a month to change our national anthem.
you took less than a month to hike fuel price, duty and electricity tarrif.

You took less than a month to create poverty, hyper inflation and hunger everywhere. You took less than a month to commit all manner of wickedness against Nigerians.

But you want to take 180 days to remove duty from food items that will ameliorate hunger and suffering.

You are obviously a pharaoh and wicked man.

But the bad news is, removing duty won't solve the problem, because transporting those food items across the country will automatically make food expensive.

Transportation of goods is the reason everything is expensive.


Fuel subsidy removal without a working refinery is the problem Nigerians are facing. The wicked man knows this, but he has refused to back track his evil policies.

The fed. Govt are the science teachers, the scientists while we are their lab rats excluding me.

Let the experiment continue until when they won't get it right and people will be forced the get it right by revolution.

Until revolution happens people will keep on becoming their guinea pigs.

End.
