From Ahmed Idris Birnin Kebbi
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has reopened its Kebbi State Command.
This was contained in press statement signed by the Command Public Relations Officer (PRO), Nasiru Manga and made available to the newsmen in Birnin Kebbi, the State capital.
The PRO said that the reopening of the Area Command was to boost administrative, convenience, efficiency and revenue generation of the Service, adding that the move was also in line with the directive of the Comptroller-General of Customs, retired Col. Hameed Ali.
The public relations officer further said that the Area Command would enhance service delivery and effective land border management, adding that it was part of the current administration’s policy thrust of reforming, restructuring and improving the system.
“The customs service recently created additional area commands for administrative convenience and to boost revenue generation,” he said.
He said that Emmanuel Chukwuemeka, Controller for the new Area Command had since assumed duty.
Our correspondent gathered that the kebbi State command office was closed and merged to Sokoto Command before it was now reopened.
