NACCIMA Commends President Tinubu on Reopening of Samiya International Border


The Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), under the leadership of its National President and Chairman of the Organised Private Sector of Nigeria (OPSN), Engr. Jani Ibrahim, mni, OON, warmly commends His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for directing the immediate reopening of the Samiya International Border in Kebbi State, linking Nigeria with the Republic of Benin.


Just as the chamber reaffirms its commitment to partnering with government agencies and stakeholders to ensure that this policy direction translates into sustainable trade expansion, inclusive growth, and strengthened regional cooperation.



The statement by Engr. Jani Ibrahim, National President, NACCIMA Chairman, Organised Private Sector of Nigeria (OPSN), claimed that the presidential directive, announced during the official visit of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, to the Nigeria Customs Service Area Command in Birnin Kebbi, represents a timely and forward-looking policy decision aimed at strengthening cross-border trade, deepening regional economic cooperation, and revitalising legitimate economic activities along the corridor.


NACCIMA notes with appreciation that the reopening of the border is accompanied by strengthened compliance measures, the deployment of modern cargo monitoring technology, improved transit controls, and firm directives against smuggling and regulatory abuse. The emphasis on faster cargo clearance timelines and coordinated inter-agency oversight reflects a balanced and pragmatic approach that supports trade facilitation while safeguarding national security and revenue interests.


As a leading advocate for cross-border trade enhancement and regional integration, NACCIMA recognises the far-reaching developmental impact that functional and well-regulated border posts have on:

Border community livelihoods; Agricultural and commodity value chains; Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises (SMEs) and informal sector traders, Regional food security; Bilateral and ECOWAS trade integration; Social and cultural exchange.


The reopening of the Samiya International Border sends a strong policy signal that regulated, technology-driven border operations can simultaneously promote economic growth, enhance competitiveness, and protect national interests.
