          Also, the desire to get rich quarter contributed as well.  The government and the purchasers have found this act of smuggling net beneficial.  So they have taken measure to eradicate smuggling.

          The government has introduced to stem to encourage buying from the black market.  This we hope will eradicate currency trafficking and discourage illegal way emery duties on goods has been reduced by the government to encourage industries to buy their material and still produce to sell at better price for common man the purchase most industries use raw materials that are imposed from other countries for production of locally manufactured goods.  The manufacturing is done locally and therefore, Nigeria being a developing nation, delivered that the quailing of goods produce here is inferior to those imported from abroad whether legally or illegally.  The goods that can be smuggled into the country include hot drinking, wine and cigarettes and hard drags.  Cocoa, cotton, Aides and shin, petroleum products are the goods that can be smuggled act of the country.  They normally go which help to the society as a while. It is an illness in the society and fought to a point of total eradiation.  Although there is no country has succeeded in stopping smuggling activities completely, but it can be brought to minimal level.
