Speaking at the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, meeting, organised between officials of Nigeria and Benin, Musa said the development followed complaints by freight forwarders operating at the Seme border.
The director, who spoke at the ECOWAS Monitoring Team’s visit to the Seme-Krake Joint Border Post, said: “I was here with the former Minister of State for Transportation when the Freight Forwarders pleaded that the border should be reactivated for the free movement of goods and services.
“The former minister made us prepare a memo to that effect. It was considered and sent to the government.”

DeleteThis is good! Absolutely a point in the right direction👍 likewise groundnut oil and rice should be allowed too
ReplyDeleteEveryone complains about Naira:$ rate but wants to import everything from rice, chicken, clothes to cars! Without local manufacture to earn $ into Nigeria, $ will continue to go up. It’s basic economics. Instead of banning importation & incentivizing local production of everything including cars, they are putting more pressure on the few $ in circulation from oil and remittances from diaspora Nigerians. Those are the two major $ sources used to import garbage. Until the 90s, all government official cars were VW or Peugeot assembled in Nigeria. Nigeria exports very little but everyone is a trader and importer. Using the few $ to bring in Abaya while complaining about devaluation. The country is in need of prayer as naira May reach N1000:$ in the next few weeks if policies like opening border for importation continues unabated with no local manufacture for export generated $.
ReplyDeletePls I’m not a political person & have no sympathy or antipathy towards any of the candidates or the president. It’s just common sense that if you don’t earn $ & you keep spending (importing needs $) you will drive up the rate & even run out after a while.
