JUST IN: US attack Nageria ban of important agriculture

The Nigerian government has maintained a ban on the importation of 25 product categories to promote local manufacturing and reduce dependency on foreign goods. These items include agricultural products like beef, pork, poultry, and fruit juices, as well as pharmaceutical goods, alcoholic beverages, refined oils, pasta, and even solar panels. While the policy aims to strengthen the local economy, the United States has criticized it for creating trade barriers that limit access to the Nigerian market, resulting in lost export opportunities for American businesses.
