Custom intercepts N27 million stew imported from china. 

  By prince Everest
       In the past the NCS had  intercepted  a 20ft container of melon (Egusi), jellof Rice, Ogbono and yam porridge imported from India at the Tin-can island port in Lagos. 
       Yesterday the container sighted  at one of the Nigerian ports was intercepted by the CGC strike force team, as a result of information provided by the custom intelligent unit (CIU) of the service. 

       Addressing newsmen in Lagos. Deputy comptroller and National coordinator, Comptroller General Strike force, Abdullahi Kirawa said the system has degraded to the level of now importing stew into the country despite the number of hardworking Nigerians who provide better services in food production. He also complained that the pot of stew and other edible items with semblance to mushroom which could not be identified as a result of Chinese language written on their packs could pose serious dangers to human health. 

        He also advise that Nigerians should ignore such foreign goods as they were packaged inside containers with possible addition of chemicals to preserve the items which may increase the rate of cancer. He said our quest  for foreign goods and items must be discouraged and we must work hard to embrace and patronise home made goods, including our delicious stew that are prepared from our homes and not engage in this type of
business. 
        If stew could be imported what else are we going to do? this is something we need to reflect on.
