To intensify fight against smuggling of goods into Nigeria, the Comptroller General of Customs, CGC Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, on Thursday 21st November, 2024, convened a high-level meeting with Customs Area Controllers in charge of Border areas.
The move, Security Watch Africa (SWA) gathered, is a bold step to reinforce the Nigeria Customs Service’s unwavering commitment to combating smuggling.
