ONGOING REFORMS IN CUSTOMS SERVICE WILL ENHANCE
REGIONAL TRADE AND BOOST SECURITY – PRESIDENT JONATHAN
President Goodluck
Jonathan said Tuesday in Abuja that in addition to enhancing regional and continental
trade, ongoing reforms in the Nigerian Customs Service will also boost security
in the country by helping to curtail the influx of illegal small arms and light
weapons.
Speaking at an audience with
the visiting Secretary General of the World Customs Organization, Mr. Kunio Mikuriya,
President Jonathan said that the reforms were necessitated by the need to re-define
the core values and operations of the service.
