Nigeria: Hameed Ali Orders Removal of Illegal Customs Checkpoints Nationwide
This is according to a circular CNS/ENF/ABJ/032/S.35, issued yesterday, in Abuja, by the Acting Deputy Comptroller of Customs in charge of Enforcement, Inspection and Investigation, Mr. A.A. Dangaladima.

The order was issued following a directive of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) in the present administration’s determination to make doing business easier for the private sector, considered as the engine of growth.

According to Customs authorities, any check-point beyond 40 kilometers from the border would be deemed illegal.

“The 40 km radius applies only to the borders. Consequently, there should be no check-points with the ports”, it explained.

THe circular added that only two check-points at Agbara and Gbaji are approved along the Lagos-Badagry-Seme Road.
