Section 2: Licences.

(1) The Minister may, on an application made in the prescribed manner and on payment of the prescribed fee, grant to the applicant a licence under this Act.
(2) A licence may be granted either unconditionally or subject to such conditions (including, without prejudice to the generality of this subsection, conditions relating to the fish when dead) as the Minister considers expedient for the purpose of avoiding the incidence or spread of disease or parasitic states among live fish in waters from which he considers that fish may be caught for consumption in Nigeria.
(3) A licence shall not be transferable and may at any time be revoked, suspended or have its suspension removed by the Minister in the prescribed manner; but the revocation or suspension of a licence shall not affect the application of any conditions of the licence to any fish previously imported in accordance with the licence.
