Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, has requested for cooperation of Illela border community, marketers and stakeholders to improve safe and efficient trade movements in Sokoto state.<\/p>\n

The NCS Comptroller in-charge of Sokoto\/Zamfara Area Command, Kamal Muhammad, gave the charge while officially reopening the Illela border on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Muhammad tasked security agencies and other officials at the border station to ensure maximum collaboration with each other.<\/p>\n

According to him, the cooperation would pave the way for trade facilitation, information and intelligence sharing for a safe, efficient and effective service delivery at the border.<\/p>\n

He further enjoined them to adhere to stipulated regulations, adding that the border was reopened following President Bola Tunubu\u2019s directives after ECOWAS sanctions were lifted on Niger Republic.<\/p>\n

The Comptroller thanked the licensed agents, traditional rulers and community members and urged them to support NCS with credible information to serve the nation better.<\/p>\n

He further educated the communities on dangers of smuggling, which, according to him, deterred the nation\u2019s economic growth.<\/p>\n

The comptroller stressed the need for stakeholders to support NCS to achieve its mandate.<\/p>\n

Muhammad added that the command had released 15 detained trucks containing food items for onward sale at Nigerian markets in compliance with presidential directives.<\/p>\n

He urged traders to reciprocate by ensuring that the grains were sold to Nigerians at Nigerian markets to lower the prices of food items in the country.<\/p>\n
