Why FG Bans Importation of “I Better Pass My Neighbor” Generators
The Federal government has banned the importation 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 yesterday Nov.
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.
