In compliance with the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the instant reopening of the land border with the Niger Republic, the Controller, Nigeria Customs Service, Kebbi State command, Iheanacho Ojike, has reopened the Kamba land border.
While re-opening the border, Ojike stated that Kamba is a strategic border with a significant share of the Kebbi State income era.
This was contained in an announcement signed by the command’s spokesman, SP Mohammed Saliu, and made accessible to newsmen on Sunday.
“The border reopening was geared toward paving the way for professional commerce that may positively influence nation-building, not permission for the importation of prohibited objects that may threaten the financial system and compromise nationwide safety.
“Males of the command are ever able to facilitate professional commerce and act inside the ambit of the regulation to simplify commerce throughout Kamba border seamlessly so long as stakeholders import what’s permitted by Customs extant legal guidelines, make correct declaration and pay acceptable duties to the Federal Authorities coffers.
“Let me also make it known that meal grains are still prohibited for exportation to another country, considering the shortage of food within the nation,” Ojike said.
Responding, Mallam Fana, the district group head, counselled the efforts of the Federal Authorities while emphasising the brand new wave of hope the border re-opening will give to his individuals who are interested in cross-border companies.
