The Nigeria Customs Service on Monday said Nigeria has saved N1.4 billion naira since the partial closure of the nation’s borders.
Colonel Hameed Ali (rtd), the Comptroller General of Customs announced this while addressing a news conference in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
He said a total of 317 suspected smugglers and 146 illegal migrants were arrested during the period.
The Customs chief noted 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.
