We Might Reopen Nigeria’s Borders Soon – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to tell Nigeria’s 36 governors that the Federal Government is looking into reopening the nation’s borders as soon as possible.

He recently revealed this in a meeting with the state governors on the issue of security, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the governors in the country should learn to work more with traditional rulers and community members to improve local intelligence gathering that will aid the work of security agencies.

He added that local rogues must also be stopped from sabotaging oil installations because he is not happy with the blowing up of pipelines every now and then.

His words, “The sub-region is no longer safe, more so with the collapse of the former Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi’s regime and the cross border movement of weapons and criminals.

“Governors must work with traditional rulers. Try and work with traditional rulers to boost intelligence gathering.”

“Every day I get situation reports about illegal refineries and the blowing up of pipelines. You must stop local rogues from sabotaging oil installations.”

“Security is important and we must secure the whole country.”

“We are thinking very hard on the issue of kidnapping. We will make it possible for the military to get to the bandits and kidnappers and eliminate them.”

“Now that the message has sunk in with our neighbours, we are looking into reopening the borders as soon as possible.”
