The Illela border in Sokoto state was on Tuesday, January 5, reopened by the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS).

The reopening ceremony was performed by the customs area controller in charge of the Sokoto/Zamfara command, Abdulhamid Ma’aji, Premium Times reported.

He said the federal government’s decision to ban rice importation into Nigeria was still in force. The ceremony was witnessed by dignitaries from Nigeria and Niger Republic. The border was opened three weeks after the federal executive council directed reopening of some of them for transit and commercial purposes.

The area commander said:

“The closure of the border was because of abuse of protocols. What is now expected is adherence to rules and guidelines. “Now that the border is opened for operation now, let me appeal to every residents of Illela and Kwani for their cooperation. I want to assure you that the Nigeria Customs Service and its sister agencies are ready to be professional in discharging our duties.
