The Nigerian
senate yesterday called for a stop of the policy banning the importation
of used vehicles into the country through land borders. The decision was taken
at the plenary on Wednesday.
The Federal Government had last year announced the ban on the importation of used vehicles, popularly known as Tokunbo, through land borders.
The implementation through Nigerian Customs Service was to become effective on January 1, 2017.
However, a grace of three months was granted for those who must have placed orders to complete the clearing process.

But Nigerians have been
complaining, saying it would make the cost of such cars increase. And with the
senate's resolution, they agree with those who are against the policy.
