ECOWAS Enhances Operations at Seme-Krake Joint Border Post Linking Nigeria and Benin22 Sep, 2025The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission, through its Directorate of Transport, in collaboration with the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Republic of Benin, carried out a series of interventions from 3rd to 5th September 2025, to improve the efficiency and operations of the Seme-Krake Joint Border Post (JBP). Since the President’s visit, a series of consultations and high-level meetings have been held involving the ECOWAS Directorates of Transport, Trade, Free Movement, and Customs and Taxation. These engagements have produced a set of integrated measures to strengthen border post management. They include the development of a monitoring framework with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track performance, the establishment of a Joint Border Information System, and the creation of a Joint Technical Secretariat to support the Joint Management Committee. The Joint Border Posts along the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor are critical to ECOWAS’ transport governance programme.
