President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to allow trucks conveying transit goods to Niger Republic to pass through Benin Republic and Kebbi State.
The directive was disclosed by the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, during a courtesy visit to Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, in Birnin Kebbi on Saturday.
The move is aimed at easing regional trade flows while maintaining Nigeria’s national security and economic interests.
