Border closure: Sen. Uzodinma hails Buhari for making Nigeria work again vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Sen. Hope Uzodinma has commended President Muhammadu Buhari over the closure of Nigeria’s border with the Benin Republic and other neighbouring countries to check rice smuggling.Uzodinma, who spoke with newsmen in Abuja, said it was evidence of the president’s determination to get Nigeria working again.
“The security implication of the activities at the borders was also a serious concern to us than because they are very porous. “This is because beyond checking to smuggle of rice, it will check kidnappers and other criminal elements from thronging the country to commit all manner of atrocities. Reacting to concerns by some Nigerians that some of the ministers may not perform optimally due to several reasons, Uzodinma said it was hasty for anyone to draw a conclusion.
“The minister is a Nigerian and there is nowhere in the Constitution that says that age is a barrier for the appointment of a minister.
