Kwara Gov backs FG’s border closure policy
AbdulRazaq said Kwara would continue to support the government policy, including offering necessary supports to the joint security architecture mandated to enforce what was necessary to check illegal trade, proliferation of small arms and light weapons, and cross border crimes in Nigeria.
The delegation was led by Comptroller of Customs and Team Leader of the Border Drill, Uba Garba Muhammad, at the Government House, Ilorin. “The closure of borders is a wake up call to sub-nationals and to the country at large that there are challenges ahead because of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement which Nigeria is part of for free movement of goods and people across borders,” he said.
“We will do everything to support what you are doing. Let us always know the areas we can further come in to support you. We thank you for your service to Nigeria. We all sleep at night without actually knowing what you do to ensure adequate security of lives and property.
