Buhari Reveals What Will Determine Reopening Of Land Borders by LosC: 10:13pm On Feb 21, 2020
Burkina Faso President, Kabore meets Buhari at Aso Rock

President Muhammadu Buhari, Friday, in Abuja said the issue of partial closure of Nigeria’s land border to goods from neighbouring countries will be determined by report of tripartite committee made up of Nigeria, Benin and Niger Republic.

President Buhari, who received President Roch Marc Christian Kabore of Burkina Faso at the Presidential Villa, said Nigeria’s decision to partially close the border was purely to safeguard national security.

The President of Burkina Faso is the Chairman of the ECOWAS Committee mandated to resolve the issue of border closure.

“Our major problem is security — the inflow of weapons, ammunition and drugs.
“We have witnessed a decline in banditry using such weapons since the partial closure of the border.

“Also, our farmers are now able to sell their rice since we stopped the inflow of foreign rice, usually dumped in the country,’’ he said.

President Buhari said Nigeria was very much mindful of the concerns of neighbouring countries on the issue, assuring that his administration will find an early and enduring solution.

“I will work as fast as I can as soon as I receive the report,’’ the President added.

Earlier, the President of Burkina Faso told President Buhari that he came on the visit, following the mandate of ECOWAS to resolve the issues that culminated in the partial closure of the border, adding that some of the challenges had been discussed, and agreed on, urging the Nigerian leader to reconsider the position of the country.

I have said this before and I will gladly say it again... The Northern Borders are still very much wide open undecided
Go to any were in the North/Middle belt you will hardly see local rice ... Foreign rice is still in abundance ... were does the rice come from if the borders are completely closed??

Because you are a sadist , anything that brings pains to others is what gives you joy,what is the gain in border closure
You will mention rice,that is a backward way of dealing with the issues even though there is no significant improvement except the hype
There are better ways to approach the issue and still get a far better results,unfortunately we have a leader who is just acting on impulse

If he likes let him open it. He said partial closing of the borders. What has been happening at the areas where the borders were not closed? Our markets are filled with imported rice. Arms find their ways into Nigeria. When will this baba and APC learn?
How do they get in?

Is it not better to deal with the crooked customs officials and security people around the borders? Nigerian borders are very porous, especially around the north. Is it not better to employ more people to guard our borders?

Now customs jobs have been taken over by northerners. Go to Tin can Island, Apapa port, Seme and Idiroko, mostly you"ll find one A. Gulak or D. Sadiq or S. Bala. All of them sitting and chopping bribe. How can they work when they have found their gold mine?

Anyway as baba continues to wait for committee report he should stop begging the Americans to remove visa restrictions or even set up any committe on lifting visa restrictions.

Dictator Buhari fulani jihad conquest strategy:

- Close the southern borders and keep it heavily guarded to block the south from getting arms to defend themselves.
- Keep the Northern border porous to continue inflow of both weapons of mass destruction and manpower to killer fulani herdsmen, foreign fulani bandits, kidnappers and boko haram fighters to continue spreading terror and death across the country, till they defeat the army and conquer the entire country.
- Do nothing about the massive insecurity all over the country, but pretend to be busy doing nothing

But by the grace of God, their evil plans will fail and Nigeria and Nigerians will survive this evil regime of a wicked dictator wolf in sheep clothing, that cares and values the lives of cows more than human lives.

ECOWAS cannot suspend Nigeria because Nigeria is its biggest financier.

It's just like the United Nations suspending the United States...just impossible unless you want to kill the body because the US is its biggest financier.

I insist that closing the border isn't the solution.

If some idiots are smuggling contrabands into the country, it's an internal problem. So, Buhari should clean up Nigeria's customs.

I don't understand why he keeps touting that he is fighting corruption, yet he hasn't thoroughly cleaned up just one government institution.

Even the police still brazenly collects roadside bribes.

ECOWAS ....the free trade is about freely trading goods produced by member States with each other. They should be speaking to the members that import foreign goods to ship to Nigeria ... not Buhari. When they can comply... only then the border should be reopened....... partially.
