The United States government has faulted Nigeria for the continued delay in approving import permits for American agricultural products, describing the situation as a longstanding trade barrier that has hindered access to the Nigerian market. The Office of the United States Trade Representative says that despite repeated efforts to secure market access, Nigeria had not acted on several pending requests concerning food and agricultural imports from the US. The Nigeria Customs Service however countered the claims by the United States government that the NCS still operates a largely manual system, describing the assertion as unfair and misinformed. The USTR noted that Nigeria’s weak capacity to review certificates, inspect goods, and conduct testing had contributed to long clearance delays, forcing many traders to rely on informal channels.
