The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has revealed an attempt to smuggle unregistered pharmaceutical products into Nigeria using a counterfeit registration number from the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adeniyi, announced the seizure of N53 billion worth of drugs and expired pharmaceuticals, which were handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and NAFDAC.

The Ogun Customs has reported the seizure of contraband items valued at ₦4.63 billion, which included various goods such as foreign rice, cannabis, petroleum products, footwear, tyres, sugar, second-hand clothing, and pharmaceuticals. This operation has resulted in a revenue increase of 238%, according to Afeni.

The Nigeria Textile Manufacturers Association (NTMA) has called for stronger government measures to protect the local textile industry from excessive imports, smuggling, and unfair foreign competition. Dr. Hamma Ali Kwajaffa, the Director-General of NTMA, emphasized the association's ongoing advocacy for decisive action during a program on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).

The Benue State Government has conducted inspections of all 23 Divisional Agricultural Offices (DAOs) to promote transparency and accountability in the distribution of government-supplied fertiliser to farmers for the 2026 farming season. This initiative was led by the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Dr. Benjamin Ashaver, as part of the government's monitoring efforts.

The Nigeria Customs Service has intercepted smuggled goods valued at N274 million in Cross River, which included vegetable oil and used tyres. This action aims to protect local industries from the impact of smuggling.

A study by the Nigeria Agribusiness Data and Investment Hub (NADIH) indicates that approximately 70% of agricultural data in Nigeria is held by government institutions, but much of this information is outdated and insufficient for farmers and investors. The initiative is a collaboration between Lagos Business School and Augmentum Advisory.
