Reps Urges FG To Lift Ban On Fuel Sale 20km From Land Borders

House of Representatives yesterday urged the Federal Government to lift the ban on the sale of petrol within 20 kilometres of land borders following subsidy removal.

It also urged the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) and other relevant government agencies to ensure immediate stoppage of the ban to allow duly registered stations to be supplied with petroleum products.

The House mandated the Committee on Customs and Excise (when constituted) to ensure implementation.

The resolutions followed the adoption of a motion by Adegboyega Nasir Isiaka.

The House recalled that in November 2019, the Customs announced the ban on the sale and supply of petroleum products in all communities within 20 kilometres of the Nigerian land borders which measure approximately 4,047 kilometres.

The House said it was aware that the ban was apt at the time to prevent the smuggling of subsidised petroleum products to Nigerian neighbouring countries.

It was worried that despite the removal of subsidy, the ban is yet to be lifted, thus causing hardships to millions of Nigerians living and conducting businesses within the affected area (located in 15 states of the federation) who have to travel kilometres to get the products or pay an extra amount to secure the products for their daily needs.

The House said the ban has continued to impact negatively on the socio-economic activities in the affected areas.
