Nigerian textile sector union backs anti-smuggling fight
The National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria (NUTGTWN) has lauded the renewed efforts of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) in the fight against smuggling.“We are impressed by the recent discovery of 75 illegal warehouses in Kano where contraband textile materials worth about Naira 319.9 billion were stored. We commend the customs for the reported seizure of the smuggled textile materials. We hope that this development is not another passing fad in line with the mood of the country for change but an enduring commitment of Nigeria Customs Service to do its job to protect local producers and help the country to ensure sustainable jobs,” IssaAremu, the union’s general secretary said on its website.
