Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano state has appealed to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider the reopening of the county’s borders for importation of food to ease the food crisis.

According to Governor Yusuf, allowing import of food items through the land borders become pertinent to check starvation and food inflation in Nigeria.

Governor Yusuf made the appeal when he received the Comptroller General, the Nigerian Customs Service Alhaji Bashir Adewale Adeniyi at Government House in Kano.

Gov. Yusuf lamented the critical condition of hunger in the country which he claimed was caused by the rampant hike in the price of commodities in the Country.

“We wish appreciate the President’s intervention on the ongoing national food initiative which he considers Kano as the host for the initiative to be launched believing that the programme will cushion the effects of food scarcity if implemented”.

According to the Governor, another immediate intervention that can make food available and affordable to our teaming population is for the Federal Government to consider the reopening of the borders and allow free importation of commodities.

During the meeting with the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, in his office, Governor Yusuf emphasized on the prevalent hardships faced by the populace, particularly during the sacred month of Ramadan, underscoring the necessity of opening the borders to alleviate their distress.

He also expressed satisfaction with the Customs Service’s initiative to commence the distribution of food items to the citizens of Kano amidst the prevailing hardships and hunger experienced by many, urging the Customs Service to ensure that this benevolent act reaches those most affected.

Furthermore, the Governor assured the Customs Service of his unwavering support in all aspects, particularly those that would yield positive outcomes for Kano and Nigeria at large.

On his part, Adewale reiterated the significance of fortifying the bond between the Nigeria Customs Service and the Kano community, emphasizing the Service’s deeper commitment to collaboration and mutual understanding.

He pledged to implement policies aimed at refining business processes and fostering engagement with stakeholders.

CG Adewale also stated that the Service had made comprehensive arrangements to address the current challenges of food scarcity and hardship in Kano by distributing essential food items to the state’s residents.
