The Latest News from Nigeria and Around the World
President Patrice Talon on Wednesday demanded Niger’s military rulers collaborate and reopen their side of the border if they want Benin to let ships load Nigerien crude exports at its Seme port.
But Talon said military leaders in its northern neighbour were treating Benin like an “enemy” and not cooperating to restore ties and formally normalise trade rather than allow informal border crossings. “If tomorrow the Nigerien authorities decide to collaborate with Benin in a formal manner, the boats will be loaded.”
In December, Benin lifted its suspension of imported goods transiting to Niger through the port of Cotonou, that had been part of sanctions imposed by the West African regional bloc ECOWAS following the coup.The closure of its northern border with Niger hit Benin’s government revenues and also impacted the cost of food goods.
