The cost of exporting 100 tons of cargo out of Nigeria is $35,000 , it will cost $4,000 in Ghana , $3,800 in Cote DâIvoire and $4,500 in Cotonou . The Nigerian Customs Service in an enemy of the country , be it tariffs or service . Our economic complexity is ranked 146/152 .

I once said that Nigerian Customs has forgotten that itâs primary duty is trade facilitation and not income generation , they came for my head . Audit the account of all customs officers if what is there tallies with their pay . Devils , all of them .
Nigerian customs has hiked duty for spare part imports from 4M to almost 8M. Same for most other imports. As you guys are blaming dollar price for the price increases, let us also give customs their due credit. They too are contributing.

Innoson cars are not affordable. I donât see any reason why I should buy it yet. In as much as I love supporting local contents, but they have to strongly compete in price. Innoson should stop releasing new models but rather invest in research that can bring down the cost of his.
