Should Nigeria ban the importation of goods we can produce locally?

Every few years there is talk of banning imports to protect local producers. Does it work, or does it just push prices up and encourage smuggling?

Rice is the classic example. Local production grew, but so did smuggling across the borders.

Bans without supporting local production first just create scarcity. Fix power and roads, then talk about bans.
