Nimule S.Sudan/ Elegu UG
Home > OSBP
LOCATION
Nimule is located in Magwi County, Imatong State, South Sudan, immediately north of the International border with the Republic of Uganda. This location lies approximately 197 kilometres (122 mi), by road, southeast of Juba, the capital of South Sudan and the largest city in that country. This location lies approximately 120 kilometres (75 mi), by road, north of Gulu, Uganda, the nearest large city.
WHY
As the main gateway into Southern Sudan from the port of Mombasa, the Nimule-Elegu border post is of strategic importance to the EAC region. The border is extremely slow, and Nimule takes an average of four days to process imports. This delay imposes serious costs on traders. These time delays can be attributed to inadequate border infrastructure, insufficient quality and quantity of technical equipment, poor border design, complicated procedures based on centralized control, and multiple border organisations working in isolation.
