A total of N1.4 billion naira has been saved since the partial closure of Nigeria’s borders. So says the Nigeria Customs Service.
This disclosure was made by the Controller General of Customs, Colonel Hameed Ali (rtd) who made the announcement while addressing a news conference on Monday in Abuja.
The customs boss also revealed that a total of 317 suspected smugglers and 146 illegal migrants were also arrested during the period.
The Customs boss insisted that the partial border closure was yielding the desired results as the nation’s consumption of petroleum products has dropped by 10.2 million litres.
