FG DIRECTS THE RE-OPENING OF IDIROKO BORDER TODAY,CLOSED SINCE 2019.(PHOTOS).#PRESS RELEASE.




The Federal Government has directed the re-opening of Idiroko, Jibiya, Kamba and Ikom borders closed in August of 2019 as part of 
Measures to prevent the smuggling of illegal arms, food & agricultural products to stimulate local production.

This was disclosed, in an interview with the National Public Relations Officer of the Service DC Timi Bomodi. He stated that the Service announced the immediate re-opening of these four land borders in compliance with recent Presidential directives.

Recall, the Federal Government on October 15, 2019, announced the partial closure of all land borders.

“All goods, for now, are banned from being exported or imported through our land borders and that is to ensure we have total control over what comes in,” Hameed Ali, Comptroller-General of Customs Service said.

In December 2020, the Federal Executive Council (FEC), announced the immediate re-opening of four out of the eight major land borders; Seme, Illela, Maigatari and Mfun leaving out Idiroko, Jibiya, Kamba and Ikom.

The NPRO also stated that all Customs formations and Joint Border Patrol Teams (JBPTs) will ensure proper manning of our borders in compliance with extant operational guidelines. It will be recalled that these Joint Border Patrol Teams comprising officers from Benin Republic, Niger and Nigeria had worked cohesively to ensure full compliance with the agreement on movement of goods in transit. Their efforts have also yielded numerous positive results in checkmating cross border smuggling of small arms and light weapons among other things.

It is expected that international trade will resume in these borders in line with fiscal policies of government. 

The borders are, Idiroko border post, Ogun State (South-West Zone); Jibiya border post, Katsina State (North-West Zone; Kamba border post, Kebbi State (North-West Zone) and ikom border post, Cross River State (South-South Zone).
