Stakeholders in the maritime industry said the continuous closure of the land borders is affecting the ease of doing business in the country. Due to this closure, many enterprises have shut down, throwing thousands of people out of jobs. They also claim the border closure has not achieved its aim, especially, as the rate of smuggling prohibited items has increased, unlike when the border was open. They argued the Federal Government only opened its borders with Benin, Cameroun, Chad and Niger in December 2020 for basic movement of people while the movement of goods remained blocked. – The Guardian Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp Share on Telegram (Opens in new window) Telegram Like this:Like Loading… Related Post navigation CBN Okays Ahmad Abdullahi Appointment As FBH Chairman FG earns N1tr from privatisation, amid calls for transparency
