Buhari to open Border ASAP
President Buhari has disclosed that in his meeting with State Governors today he explained that the closure of Nigeria’s land borders was partly an attempt to control the smuggling in of weapons & drugs and now that the message has sunk in with our neighboring countries, he his looking into reopening the borders as soon as possible.
He further said, “We are investing heavily in weapons and equipment for our military. They have already received armoured cars and other equipment, and aircraft, and more will come in. We will continue to give them all the support they need to fight criminals. We must and will secure Nigeria.”
“Intelligence-gathering is also very critical to ensuring lasting security in Nigeria. In this regard, everyone has a role to play, in addition to the security agencies: Governors, traditional rulers, community leaders, citizens. We must all work to boost intelligence-gathering.”
