The president of the Nigerian Diaspora Youth Ambassadors (NDYA), Europe zone, Comrade David Victor Alozie, has assured Nigerians in Northern Cyprus (TRNC) that the group is working round the clock to resolve challenges surrounding goods clearance affecting Nigerians living in Northern Cyprus.
Nigerians living in Northern Cyprus have been experiencing difficulties with the Custom authorities in Cyprus due guidelines and regulations, leading to loss of resources.
Alozie stated this in a statement he signed and made available to Blueprint.
He advised Nigerians to for now suspend exportation of goods to Northern Cyprus pending when the issues are resolved.
He said as part of efforts to resolve the crises, a letter will be sent from the office of the NDYA president to the Comptroller General (CG) of Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Ahmid Ali (rtd).
The statement said: “The Nigerian Diaspora Youth Ambassadors would like to notify Nigerian youths in Northern Cyprus (TRNC) that we are working on finding a solution to the problems that Nigerians have been facing regarding shipping of items from Nigeria into the TRNC.
“We strongly advice Nigerians youths in Cyprus to pause any cargo shipping into TRNC until we are able to come up with a solution on this issue after which, we would publish the set out rules guiding the customs in the TRNC.
“We will work with stakeholders and relevant authorities to devote more time, resources and political will to the removal of impediments to trade between parties involved while discussions are ongoing for a credible system that is founded on the strong and predictable trade guideline that is beneficial to all.”
