The President further stated that Nigeria and her neighbors must place a higher premium on the effective policing of borders, underlining that the fragile nature of entry points into various countries simply enhances terrorism, economic sabotage, and illicit flow of arms.
Meanwhile, the Head of the WCO, Dr Mikuriya, whose fourth visit it is to the country, has asked Customs Services to go beyond mere revenue generation and delve into security.
He noted that the nation can not effectively secure revenues without security at the borders.
