‘REPORTER’s DIARY: ‘Customs Just Closed the Border’: Why Turkey, Chicken Suddenly Became Scarce
fij.ng/article/reporters-diary-customs-just-closed-the-border-why-turkey-chicken-suddenly-became-scarce/
Quick Glance: Why Turkey and Chicken Suddenly Became Scarce
- When the Nigerian government closed the borders in October 2019 to boost local production and curb smuggling, it inadvertently led to an influx of foreign goods in the markets.
- Following an investigative report on collusion between customs officials and smugglers, a temporary halt in smuggling activities caused a shortage of turkey, chicken, and other poultry products in Lagos.
- Visits to cold rooms and food stores in Lagos revealed a scarcity of turkey and chicken due to closed borders, resulting in reduced customer traffic and higher prices for chicken.
- Various markets in Lagos experienced a shortage of chicken and gizzards, with traders citing increased prices for chicken and difficulties in sourcing products from Cotonou due to customs resistance.
