  prohibited

  Cannabis ("Indian hemp") is a controlled narcotic drug under Nigerian law. Importation, possession, cultivation, and use of cannabis/narcotic drugs are criminal offences under the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act (Cap. N30, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004), ss. 11, 19-20 (life imprisonment for importation/trafficking; 15-25 years for possession/use) — confirmed directly from the Act's own text. No medical- or low-THC/CBD-specific exemption was found on a primary Nigerian source in this pass; treat any cannabis-derived product, including CBD, as prohibited.
