No Imported Technology for Nigeria: Air Freight Embargo at Lagos & Abuja

Are you excitedly awaiting the newest tech-gizmo in Nigeria? Or just your usual technology equipment supply that's flown in by air freight? Then be prepared to wait as there is an air freight embargo to Nigeria airports:

Temporary Embargo to Lagos and Abuja
Due to the regulation requiring an electronic manifest for Nigeria customs, Delta Cargo is temporarily unable to accept any freight for transportation to Lagos, Nigeria (LOS) and Abuja, Nigeria (ABV). Mail is not affected by the embargo. This embargo on the carriage of freight to Nigeria will remain in place until further notice. Please continue to check deltacargo.com for further updates.

Oddly, there is no mention of this issues outside of the freight forwarder community, thought it should be of up most concern to everyone in the Nigerian business community. Air freight is a key importation method for many industries and its cessation should be causing financial pain across the country.
