Senate Stops Ban On Importation of ‘Tokunbo’ Cars Through Land Borders
The Federal Government had last year announced the ban on the importation of used vehicles, popularly known as Tokunbo, through land borders.
The implementation through Nigerian Customs Service was to become effective on January 1, 2017.
However, a grace of three months was granted for those who must have placed orders to complete the clearing process.

But Nigerians have been complaining, saying it would make the cost of
such cars increase. And with the senate's resolution, they agree with
those who are against the policy.
