a very common brand of generator locally called
"I better pas my neighbor". The Controller, Federation
Operations Unit Zone A, Lagos of the Nigeria
Customs Service (NCS), Madugu Sanni Jubrin, made
this known to newsmen on November 17th;
“The smaller generators have been banned
by the Federal Government because it is
causing air pollution and destruction of our
lungs and breathing system.
"That is why they have banned it but people are
still interested in smuggling them in, that is why
we intercepted them. If you go to the market, you
still see them because people have imported them
before the ban. So it is the leftover they had before
the ban that they are selling because the law did not
backdate the ban and it is not an absolute prohibition.
It is prohibition by trade which means you cannot
bring it in large quantity and sell to the public.
That is the type of prohibition we have on this but
if you buy one piece, Customs will not seize it.
