The Nigeria Customs Services has established a Customs Processing Centre (CPC) at the Maje border check point in Bagudo Local Government Area of Kebbi.
The new Customs Area Comptroller in charge of Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara, Mr Akande Bamidele, disclosed this last weekend when he visited the border.
He said the center, which is a pilot scheme, was to improve revenue generation and hasten clearance of imported vehicles and goods.
"The importers of goods will now have smooth and faster clearance of goods and revenue generation.''
Bamidele advised Customs officers at the border to ensure cordial relationship with other security agencies as well as surrounding communities for effective control at the border.
He also cautioned them against compromising their integrity on revenue generation and effective boarder control, adding, “at the same time maintain good relationship with neighbouring countries".
The Maje Customs Station Officer, Mallam Abdulrahmand Sifawa, said that officers manning the check point would work effectively to ensure the realisation of the objectives of the centre.
