The Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, has hinted that the nation’s land borders that have been closed since August 2019 may be reopened soon.
She gave this indication in an interview with State House correspondents on Wednesday.
Ahmed said the presidential committee set up on the matter had completed its job and had recommended reopening of the borders.
She said the committee would soon submit its report to the President, Muhammadu Buhari following which a formal pronouncement would be made on the matter.
The minister did not, however, disclose when the report will be submitted and how soon the land borders will be reopened.
Nigeria had in August 2019 closed its land borders to curtail illegal importation of drugs, small arms, and agricultural products into Nigeria from neighbouring West African countries.
