“supports’’ Nigeria’s closure of its land borders because it understands the action is not punitive.Addressing journalists in Washington on Sunday, Mrs Ahmed explained that the measure was intended to restore Nigeria’s relationship with its neighbours based on commitments made.
“Of course, there will be economic impact on the side of our neighbours due to the border closure, that is a consequence of it. “The commitment that we have among these countries is that goods can come through their ports to Nigeria. She said that a lot of discussions were ongoing between Nigeria and the affected countries toward securing their re-commitment to the rules governing cross-border trade.Abebe Selassie, the Director of the African Department at the IMF, gave the position at a media briefing on the sidelines of the World Bank/IMF Annual Meetings in Washington.
Yes Nigeria's neighbors are to be blamed for border closure because they use juju to blind the eyes of our security agents and sneak in their goods into Nigeria.
How can you blame other countries for our own porous borders and corrupt security agents? It's preposterous!
What's this one saying here?
Blame your neighbors if you must, it’s ok. But what about our corrupt & incompetent customs & immigration officials who made commercial activities in our ports unbearable? It is time to clean up customs & immigration cleanupdirtycustoms cleanupdirtyimmigration
A big Brother that decides to close his hands for the younger ones because he could not protect his territory is not worth being a brother
Why don’t u take actions on our border security to make sure they are working right?
Brutalregime 😡😡
This is undiplomatic at all...
From blaming PDP to blaming Nigeria's neighbours. When would Sai Baba and his crew learn to be responsible?
They should continue being bolted till the cows come home. Many a exhibit comes through the borders.
