Nigeria Customs Service announces it is implementing the 2026 Fiscal Policy Measures and Tariff Amendments approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the customs spokesperson, Abdullahi Maiwada, says the measures include changes to Nigeria’s Customs and Excise Tariff framework. The updates are presented as revisions to import tariffs and related excise duties, intended to guide compliance by traders and other stakeholders.
The Punch reports that Nigeria Customs rolls out the 2026 fiscal measures alongside revisions to import tariffs and excise duties, indicating that businesses must adjust to the new tariff structure. Both outlets frame the announcement as an official start of implementation of the President-approved package, rather than a proposal. While the detailed rates and scope of the amendments are referenced, the shared emphasis across sources is on the implementation of the 2026 measures and tariff changes and the need for importers to comply under the updated customs and excise rules.
