The training will also upgrade the skills of customs officers in carrying out trade facilitation, border security and collection of lawful customs duties and taxes. Speaking during the signing ceremony on Wednesday November 25 at the LNP Headquarters in Monrovia, LRA Customs Commissioner Saa Saamoi thanked the LNP for honoring the LRA request to train its customs officers. “The more we train our customs officers, the more the dividend will be shown by an increase in our budget and by extension, the financial revenue intake”, IG Sudue noted.
