FG Reopens Idiroko, Three Other Land Borders by Kuginzi: 4:30am On Apr 23, 2022
The Federal Government on Friday approved the reopening of four additional land borders shut in August 2019 as part of efforts to curtail smuggling and boost local production of rice.

A circular released by the Nigeria Customs Service, signed by Deputy Comptroller-General E. I. Edorhe, on behalf of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Hameed Ali, listed the borders as Idiroko border post in Ogun State, Jibiya border post in Katsina State, Kamba border post in Kebbi State and Ikom border post in Cross River State.

The circular titled, ‘Re-opening of four additional Nigerian border posts’ sighted by Saturday PUNCH read, “Sequel to the Presidential directive dated December 16, 2020, granting approval for phased reopening of land borders namely; Mfum, Seme, Illela and Maigatari borders across the country, I am directed to inform you that four additional borders listed below have been approved for re-opening.

“Idiroko border post, Ogun State (South-West Zone); Jibiya border post, Katsina State (North-West Zone); Kamba border post, Kebbi State (North-West Zone); and Ikom border post, Cross River State (South-South Zone).

Consequently, all Customs formations and Joint Border Patrol Teams are to take note and ensure that proper manning takes place in compliance with extant operational guidelines.”

The circular, which copied all Assistant Comptrollers-General/Zonal Coordinators, Area Controllers, Comptroller, Federal Operations Unit & Marine Commands, Comptroller, Customs Intelligent Unit, JBPT Sector Coordinators, Strike Force Commanders and Heads of Units, added, “Above is forwarded for your information and compliance.”

N0nsense government.
Election is here. Why did you make life difficult for citizens in The first place?
The price of rice doubled because of this mumu shutting down of border, meanwhile local rice production never increased one bit. So we just suffered for nothing. Even while the border was shut, we still bought the smuggled rice at a higher price.
Subjecting millions of people to untold hardship. Nonsense!

They are mad. Just because election is coming. There was no reason for the closure right from the onset.

This alone is enough for Southwesterners to vote out APC for intentionally depriving many of their source of livelihood.

Now, show me one positive contribution the closure of the border has brought to the southwest aside inflation in the prices of foods and food shortage?

This administration will go down as the most wicked, useless and clueless in the history of Nigeria democracy.

I thought they closed those borders to encourage local production of rice and to control foreign exchange and stabilize the local currency. Rice imports were blamed on dollar appreciation against the naira.
Maybe it is now they realized their actions backfired
