(NIMULE, EASTERN EQUATORIA STATE) – The South Sudan Revenue Authority is looking to equip the Nimule Border Post with modern cargo scanning technology to improve inspections and reduce manual handling.
The plan was a key issue raised during a two day visit by the authority’s Commissioner General, Mr. Rizig Dominic Samuel, to assess revenue collection, customs operations and border management. The visit was reported on 9th November 2026.
The visit aimed to assess operational performance, identify challenges facing customs personnel and explore measures to improve working conditions, strengthen revenue administration and facilitate legitimate cross border trade.
On arrival, the Commissioner General and his delegation were received by the Acting Mayor of Nimule Municipal Council, H.W. Emilio Igga.
Mr. Rizig said the mission was meant to provide first hand information about the working conditions and operational challenges faced by staff at the border.
“We paid this visit to see how our staff are doing here in Nimule, inspect their operations and understand the conditions under which they work. What we learn here will help us think, plan and create a better working environment for our staff when we return to Juba,” he said.
The Commissioner General said the working conditions at the border are difficult. He thanked customs personnel for their dedication and commitment to national service despite the challenges.
“Frankly speaking, they are working in a very difficult environment. The conditions are not suitable, and our customs staff are operating under challenging circumstances. I want to appreciate them for their commitment and love for the nation. I encourage them to continue serving our country despite the difficult working environment,” Mr. Rizig said.
