In October 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the closure of land borders to check smuggling of goods and arms into the country after a partial closure of the Seme Border in August 2019.

Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, has said that government may reopen land borders soon.

The closure was, however, greeted by mixed reactions from professional organisations, economists and individuals. Heads of countries like Ghana and Benin Republic had also appealed to the President to reconsider the closure but Buhari maintained that the borders would remain closed until the final report of the committee set up on the matter was considered.

Speaking with journalists on Wednesday, Ahmed said the committee had completed its job and recommended the reopening of the borders. She said the committee would soon submit its report to President Buhari following which a formal pronouncement would be made on the matter.

Clueless set of people and bunch of dummies we have as leaders causing untold hardship to the citizens.

What sets of a leader do we have in this country. Close the boarder for several years and just when the country hit recession they suddenly want to open her boarder. This is medicine to the dead. I can't stop wondering where they school....their economic ideas are shambolic

E jebi.

No o they should not open again, let's all face it, because what the hands have cause the head must carry, nonsense leaders, they think we'll die abi!! But God pass them.

Pls madam finance minister just keep the borders closed forever, we don't need it open anymore, the damage has been done already. And before ever opening it, you should tell us why you and your oga closed it in the first place? What did you people gain from the closure?

Your country is in recession. Land borders are still closed. If only joutnalised will ask questions

Dumb AF

Is it because of the Recession?

So which economic progress did we make from closing our land borders ?

The border has always been open to the North but they closed it to the south.
