Buhari orders reopening of Southern borders
BY Steve Oko
After months of agony and public outcry, President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, ordered the immediate reopening of four land borders.
The Presidency made this known in a tweet today.
It read: “President Buhari has directed the immediate opening of four land borders: Seme, Illela, Maigatari, and Mfun,” @NGRPresident tweeted.
Nigeria had in August 2019 closed its land borders to curtail illegal importation of drugs, small arms and agricultural products into country from neighbouring West African nations.
Although the Southern borders were closed,borders in the North remained open, thus raising dusts about the sincerity of the policy.
