Following the directive of the Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, on Friday, suspended the 25 percent penalty imposed as a surcharge on improperly imported vehicles.

A press statement by the national public relations officer of the service, Abdullahi Maiwada, urged stakeholders, including vehicle owners, importers, and agents to use the opportunity to regularise their vehicle’s import duty payments within 90 days.
