The Federal Government of Nigeria announced on Tuesday that it is advancing consultations on its plan to reopen the country's land borders with its neighbours. 

Adewale Adeniyi, Comptroller -General, Nigerian Customs Service disclosed this at the Presidential Villa in Abuja while speaking to State House Press correspondents shortly after the inauguration of National Single Window Project. 

The CG noted that he has been in talking terms with his Benin Republic and Niger Republic counterparts, adding that issues that led to the closure of the borders are being considered, with measures taken to avoid recurrence. 


Adeniyi, who is a member of the Presidential Steering Committee that will pilot the implemention of National Single Window Project said:

“I am not really sure if Mr. President mentioned the word ‘border’ during the inauguration of the steering committee, but honestly, this provides us an opportunity to mention something because since the single window system is seen as a coordinated border management system.

“First, let me express my sincere delight and appreciation to Mr. President for making this happen. This is not the first time an attempt like this has been made, but over the years, we’ve had situations where some kind of power play has characterized the implementation of the single windows.

“So we’re happy that this time we have a situation where Mr. President has demonstrated commitment and a very strong will and these are very strong, critical success factors for implementation of any project, particularly a project like Single Window that is collaborative in nature.

THE ONDA EID SKIRMISHES, HON. MOHAMMED SANI OTTO AND THE FALSE NARRATIVE  My attention has been drawn to a viral video making the round on social media in which the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Trade, Industry and Investment, Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto was visibly sighted at Onda Eid Ground.  In the same video, one that was deliberately edited in part, to capture the area that presents a false narrative aimed at misinforming the unsuspecting public about what truly played out.  For the record, let me state that Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto chose to observe Eid-el Fitr prayer with his kinsmen at Onda, out of the love, respect and admiration he has for them, a usual disposition that characterizes him.  On getting to the Eid Ground, he was greeted by skirmishes involving loyalists of the Osu Onda, His Royal Highness, Alh.
