President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the reopening of four more land borders in the country, IgbereTV reports
The President ordered the closure of the country’s land borders with neighbouring countries over the proliferation of small arms and importation of goods and drugs in August 2019.
He, however, approved the reopening of four borders namely – Seme (Lagos), Illela (Sokoto), Mfum (Cross River) and Maitagari (Jigawa) – after pressure from Nigerians on December 16, 2020.
The Nigeria Customs Service confirmed the development in a memo dated April 22, 2022, signed by its Deputy Comptroller-General, E.I. Edorhe, and seen by the online newspaper on Friday night.
The affected borders are – Idiroko (Ogun), Jibiya (Katsina), Kamba (Kebbi) and Ikom (Cross River).
