The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says it does not determine the exchange rate.
The Public Relations Officer of the service, Deputy Comptroller Timi Bomodi said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
He was reacting to some media reports allegedly attributing the increase in the exchange rate to the NCS.

Bomodi said that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was the only organization vested with the power to determine official rates for calculating duties and other taxes applicable for imports and export.
“The rate of exchange used to calculate duty payments is not a static phenomenon.
“Members of the trading public are kindly advised to go about their business dealings with the full assurances of the Service’s commitment to trade facilitation,” he said.
