Speaking to media on Sunday, March 9, 2023, during a walk visitation to the Gawanu market, the Comptroller General said, “We believe in dialoguing with you; we do not need to invade any market, not Gawanu, not any other market in Nigeria.
“However, we urge you not to hoard food items. We will have our intelligence monitoring our activities, reporting compliance to us.”
This declaration demonstrates Customs’ dedication to encouraging cooperation and transparent communication with traders in order to promote regulatory compliance rather than using aggressive interventions.
