In August 2019, the federal government ordered the closure of land borders to halt smuggling along the borders.

However, the government in 2021 opened border points across the country, Seme, in the South-west, Ilela and Maitagari in the North-west, and Mfun in the South-south.

Speaking on Tuesday, Mr Adeniyi said the decision to set up a clearing point for Nigeria-bound goods was one of the highlights of the two-day working visit of the Director-General of Customs, Republic of Benin, to Nigeria.

“By this agreement, what it means is that Nigerian importers willing to use the ports in Cotonou can have their goods cleared in those ports because there would be an opportunity for them to pay duties on goods that are liable for payment of duties.

“We can account for the duties on those goods in the ports of arrival. So they will now be free to enter Nigeria,” Mr Adeniyi said.

“Our objective remains steadfast to stimulate economic growth, foster regional integration, and nurture prosperity among our nations.InformationGuideNigeria

“In collaboration with the Inspector General of the Nigeria Police, we have undertaken substantial measures to reduce barriers along our trade corridors.
