Tinubu: Customs Reforms to Boost Trade, Strengthen Border Security

By   Milcah   Tanimu

President Bola Tinubu has announced that reforms within the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) will boost trade and strengthen border security. Speaking at the Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC) conference in Abuja, Tinubu said these changes align with his administration’s goals to diversify and industrialize Nigeria’s economy. National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu represented Tinubu at the event.

Tinubu highlighted new customs initiatives, including an advanced ruling system and an authorised economic operator program. He noted these initiatives aim to facilitate trade and create a predictable business environment. The reforms, he said, would also improve Nigeria’s global trade ranking and make the business climate more attractive for investors.

The president committed to supporting the modernization efforts of the NCS. This support has already led to increased revenue generation, enhancing the government’s ability to fund critical projects. Since taking office, Tinubu’s administration has secured over $30 billion in foreign investment, showing investor confidence due to recent policy changes.

According to Tinubu, discussions at the conference should help Nigeria maximize opportunities from regional and continental trade integration. At the same time, the NCS will strengthen border security. He emphasized that sustainable progress relies on strategic partnerships, improved trade processes, and enhanced compliance frameworks.

As part of broader reforms, Tinubu aims to elevate Nigeria’s global trade and investment reputation. Planned improvements include modernizing port infrastructure and streamlining business processes to reduce trade barriers. He urged that the conference outcomes provide a clear roadmap for achieving Nigeria’s economic goals through enhanced trade and security.
