ordered the immediate removal of rice from import restriction list and
the re-introduction of import duty payment at land borders.
The
Public Relations Officer of customs, Mr Wale Adeniyi, made this known in

He said that the restriction was only applied at land
border stations before now, adding that the customs boss had lifted
restriction on rice at border stations.
