The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says it is working to distribute some seized food items nationwide as the biting food crisis continues in the country.

According to the National Public Relations Officer of the NCS, ABDULLAHI MAIWADA, the food items will be distributed to Nigerians after they are certified fit for human consumption by relevant agencies.

He said the move is to alleviate the hardships faced by Nigerians and improve access to essential food items.

MAIWADA added that the modalities for the disposal will be communicated through NCS formations nationwide, with a firm commitment to transparency, fairness, and public safety.
