The Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, on Tuesday donated 86 drones to the Nigerian Navy toward enhancing its operations.
The NCS Comptroller-General retired Col. Hamid Ali, while presenting the items in Abuja said that they were intercepted at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, after the importers failed to present End Users Certificate, EUC.
Ali said that the customs usually condemn items imported into the country without EUC, after security permission from the High Court.
Ali was represented by the NCS FCT Comptroller, Suleman Bomoi at the ceremony.
He, however, urged Nigerians who were into importation or thinking of going into the business, to always ensure they have their EUC in place.
In his remarks, the Chief of Naval Staff, CNS, Vice-Adm. Awwal Gambo, while receiving the items, assured of appropriate use of the items for the benefit of the service and the country in general.
