Border reopening: Nigeria fully open for business, Buhari tells Ghana, others

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), says the recent reopening of the land borders will boost the fortunes of business owners in the country.

Buhari, who stated this in his 2021 New Year Broadcast on Friday, informed West African neighbours like Ghana, Togo, Benin Republic, amongst others that Nigeria is now “fully open” for business in the Year 2021.

He said, “With the recent opening of our borders, we expect that the pent-up demand of legitimate cross-border and international trade will boost the fortunes of the many small businesses and agricultural enterprises that depend on Nigeria’s trade and commerce.

“The message to our West African neighbours is that Nigeria is once again fully open for those willing to conduct business in a fair and equitable way.”
