The Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA) has announced stricter enforcement measures against alleged illegal imports of containers into Free Trade Zones. Managing Director Olufemi Ogunyemi stated that operators involved in unlawful transactions would face penalties under Nigerian law, with intensified inspections, closer scrutiny of documentation, and coordinated action with enforcement agencies.
Operators found guilty would be held accountable by Nigerian law, while those not implicated would be allowed to continue operations. The free zone scheme aims to encourage investment, facilitate international trade, and generate revenue for the government.
