The Nigerian government announced Tuesday that Nigerian importers would soon be free to legally import their goods from the ports in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
The acting Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Bashir Adeniyi, disclosed this while speaking to journalists after a two-day working visit of Alain Hinkati, Director-General of Customs, Republic of Benin, to Nigeria.
In August 2019, the federal government ordered the closure of land borders to halt smuggling along the borders.
