Nigeria, Beninoise Customs Partner On Managing Cross-Border Trade

The Nigeria Customs boss noted that with the increasing global security challenges, the need for both countries’ customs services to work in synergy has become imperative, stressing that the “intended mutualism” would boost their efforts to improve the economies of both nations.
