FG bans importation of "I better pass my neighbour" 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.
