.President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the extension of the joint border operations code-named Exercise Swift Response which has led to the total shutdown of land frontiers across the country.

The land borders are expected to be reopened on January 31, 2020, thus dashing the hopes of entrepreneurs in the West African region who were optimistic that the Nigerian government will end the military exercise before Christmas.

In a circular dated November 1, 2019 (NCS/ENF/ABJ/221/S.45) and signed by the Comptroller of Customs in charge of enforcement, Victor David Dimka, to the Sector Coordinators, joint border operations drill (Exercise Swift Response), Sectors 1, 2, 3 & 4, it directed them to note the new development and comply accordingly

lol

we better be clear when discussing such issues

do we mean Northern borders or Southern borders ?

BTW Southern borders are always closed in yuletide season to surfer the Christians and opened in January of the next year!

argue with ur talisman

truth is that most nigerians are new to the internet and react newly to things that has been happening for ages!
it pains some people when they see the Christians celebrate heavily at yuletide season, one way to stop this is to instill hardship by closing the borders....

as earlier mentioned, argue with your talisman

After the rice don finish my teeth

More time for Ghana to cry

This government don't know know how to formulate economic policies.

They should not open it , until Ghana call us their senior bro...

Does it mean Nigeria has achieved her objective of becoming self sufficient in rice production so soon?

I don't get it...

What was d main objective?
What has Nigeria achieved?
What next?

I hope the objective would have been achieved by then

Well...
Whatever!!!
The closure is affecting both Nigeria and her neighbors..

Why?

Head slammers just want to make Christmas hard for Christian's

Good news for Fayawo guys

All these people supporting it are only being hypochritical as if we Nigerians are not experiencing the negative impact from the shut down.

Ghanaians can finally heave a sigh of relief

I thought it is 2021!!!! Then?
SMH.

I hope ghana have learn their lesson

I guess the aim was to make Christmas celebration unbearable for some people.

Sigh...


Goodnews

They should not have announced when they would reopen the border .. criminal elements will now have the virtue of patience. What is achieved

They still wouldn't open it

They did some test running i think.
