Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, on Thursday in Abuja, met with the Acting Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adewale

During the meeting, Zulum sought increased collaboration between the Borno State Government and the Nigerian Customs Service to foster economic growth through enhanced trans-border trade with neighbouring countries of Cameroon, Chad and Niger Republic.

“As peace is gradually returning to Borno State, I want to express my readiness to work with the Nigeria Customs Service to enhance the transportation of goods between Nigerian borders with Cameroon, Chad and Niger, which will in turn enhance the economy of not only the immediate communities but the entire country,” Zulum said.

“Let me, first and foremost, congratulate you on your appointment as the Acting Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service; this vital organisation in the country. I want to also commend the Nigeria Customs Service for uplifting the standards of living of the displaced communities in Borno and other parts of the Northeastern region,” Zulum said.
