Presidency Exempts Tuition, Food, Sanitary Pads From New VAT Hike

Reports obtained by Ekohotblog says that President Muhammadu Buhari has orders Customs to release seized bags of rice for distribution all over the country.

President Buhari’s order came after Popular Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo called on the Nigerian Customs Service to distribute seized bags of rice and other goods to Nigerians amid the Coronavirus crisis.

The 58 -year-old actor urged the federal government to order the Customs to release seized food items to help feed Nigerians in this challenging period.

The actor, also known as RMD, made the request in a post on his Instagram page appealing to Customs to step up and help Nigerians.

The post read: “Sitting here wondering if this won’t be a good time for the government to ask Customs about all the plenty seized rice, tomato, vegetable oil, and all the other food items they have in their possession and give out to our people in need.
