This strategy has created a considerable measure of concern and dread among private car owner and the general people along these lines influencing the NCS to put its usage on hold. Be it noticed that this paper does not inspect the forces of the Nigeria Customs Service to gather applicable duty on imported goods, including vehicles.
The paper likewise does not question the presence of chaperon disciplines for inability to pay the necessary duties as endorsed by law. Notwithstanding, this issue proposes that it is dicey if NCS without a doubt has the power to seize or check an exclusive vehicle obtained by someone else from the open market or from a man who is not a car dealer t or from a shipper of the said vehicle.
In spite of the fact that the arrangement has been put on hold, people in general abuse liable to be created ought to the NCS in the long run continue to actualize the approach may go past creative energy. This incorporates and may not be limited to variety of activities in court and dissents from vehicle owners who purchased from the open market without notice of any future obstacle.

It particularly recognizes the people legitimately committed to pay custom duty on imported goods while likewise breaking down the forces of the NCS to manage resistance of the law with a view to distinguishing the points of confinement of the activity of such powers by the NCS.
