List of 74 controlled and restricted chemicals that require an end-user certificate in Nigeria
The Federal Government of Nigeria has placed restrictions on and controls certain imported chemicals due to their use and potential danger to communities. Some can be used as explosive and dangerous chemicals, posing a high risk to National security. The office of the National Security Adviser needs to issue an end-user certificate to ensure they are in the hands of a lawful individual or organisation.
