One month shy of the closure of President Bola Tinubu’s promised duty-free window on food imports, Nigerians are left with nothing but empty promises. https://punchng.com/fg-implement-duty-free-food-imports-now/ 3 Likes 1 Share

The government should extend the duty-free window beyond the initial 150 days. This extension would provide the public with meaningful relief, particularly as the holiday season approaches when food demand surges. 11 Likes 1 Share |

I do not think there's any bureaucratic logjam anywhere. Was there any delay when he announced 'subsidy is gone ' and it took effect immediately ? All I see is a deceptive govt that is also lacklustre and lethargic. 16 Likes 1 Share |

The idea that Imports is bad for an economy is very strongly believed by poor nations while data on ground support the opposite What ever you are good at allowing imports won't stop it... If imports can destroy a local industry then you should even stop investing in such industry Allow imports, focus on encouraging exports Being able to export 3 things alone is enough to cover all our exports if done right 2 Likes |

To effectively address Nigeria’s food inflation crisis, we need more than a short-term duty-free policy. Here’s a practical, step-by-step plan that combines immediate action with long-term goals, focusing on three critical areas: 1. Immediate Food Import Relief • Set Up a Clear, Fast Process: Appoint a small team of experts from key agencies like Customs, the Ministry of Finance, and importers’ representatives to fast-track the duty-free policy. This team should ensure a streamlined process for clearing essential food imports with little to no bureaucracy. • Extend the Duty-Free Period: Since the initial delays cost valuable time, the government should add at least another 90 days to the duty-free policy. This will ensure that food prices stabilize through the holiday season when demand is higher. 2. Boost Local Food Production • Direct Funding for Farmers: Make funds and resources available to farmers and small agri-businesses immediately, prioritizing essential crop production. This support can be in the form of low-interest loans, seeds, and equipment through partnerships with banks and local governments. • Upgrade Farming Infrastructure: To improve yields, the government should invest in basic infrastructure like irrigation systems, farm access roads, and better storage facilities to reduce post-harvest losses. Community-based pilot programs can be rolled out in key farming areas like the North Central region to test impact and improve operations quickly. 3. Manage Currency Stability and Food Pricing • Strengthen the Naira: The Central Bank needs to focus on stabilizing the naira to prevent import costs from rising unpredictably. A dedicated task force should monitor and curb forex market abuses, especially in the parallel market. • Cap Price Markups on Essential Food: While it’s temporary, a ceiling on excessive markups could protect consumers from price gouging on essential foods. This should be monitored by a joint committee including consumer rights advocates, market representatives, and local councils. By acting immediately on these points while making a concerted effort to boost local food production, Nigeria can create a sustainable food economy. This balanced approach is essential to easing food prices now and ensuring Nigeria’s food security in the future. |

Some APC members want us to charge more taxes for matters that they consider very important matters....(me I don't think so... I was shocked at the views of these APC members, but then again , nothing shocks us under t-pain Kukutente23: SilasGreenback: nedu666: As for me, what is this government doing about encouraging large scale commercial farming, improving rail transport, and improving security.....those are the things that we may say a raise in tax may help...and ulitmately guarantee food security. Food imports is always a big eff u to the local farmer. 1 Like |
