Nigeria at 59: Why Nigeria’s borders were closed - Buhari gives Real reason
According to the NATION News Reports, The President Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday has announced a major reason Nigeria’s borders were shut some weeks ago.
Buhari made the disclosure in his Independence Day broadcast to the nation.
The President said while Nigeria would continue to do business with other countries, illegal movement of crude oil will not be allowed.
He said: “We will also continue our fight against illegal bunkering of crude oil and the smuggling of refined petroleum products across our borders, including the diligent prosecution and conviction of offenders found guilty of these acts.
“Whilst Nigeria remains committed to free and fair continental and international trade, we will not hesitate to take all necessary steps to tackle illegal smuggling, transshipment and other predatory trade practices that destroy jobs in our country.”
