The Federal Government has formally reopened the Nigeria–Niger Republic border through the Kamba corridor in Kebbi State.
The reopening comes barely days after the President approved the resumption of cross-border movement along the Nigeria–Benin Republic route via the Tsamiya corridor, a move aimed at revitalising regional trade, strengthening economic ties and easing the movement of legitimate goods and services across West Africa.
Speaking during the official reopening ceremony in Kamba, the Area Controller of the Nigeria Customs Service, Kebbi Area Command, Mahmoud Ibrahim, said the Service was fully committed to implementing the President’s directive as conveyed by the Comptroller-General of Customs.
He stressed that Customs would intensify monitoring and enforcement to ensure compliance with trade regulations while preventing smuggling and other illegal activities along the reopened routes.
