European Union has reported Nigeria to the World Trade Organisation to complain about the country’s milk and dairy restriction policy.
The EU conveyed its grievances to the WTO on the matter through a letter to the global trade body.
WTO Director-General, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, disclosed this during her visit to the Central Bank of Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja.
The apex bank had in July 2019 included milk and dairy products on its list of items not eligible for foreign exchange.
This development resulted in a restriction in the importation of milk into Nigeria, as the CBN now listed the commodity among agro-products such as tomatoes rice and others.
Okonjo-Iweala, however, told the CBN that the WTO would look into the complaint presented to it by the EU, adding that Nigeria should take advantage of global trade opportunities with her membership of the WTO.
