The Nigerian Government says it will shut the land border between it and a neigbouring country in a few days time to avoid smuggling of foreign rice into the country.


Chief Audu Ogbeh, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, made the disclosure in Abuja on Monday while speaking with youths in a leadership clinic under the auspices of Guardians of the Nation International (GOTNI).

Ogbeh who did not mention the particular country and border, said that shutting the borders had become necessary to encourage local production and sustain the economy of the country.

Okay oooo

Mr Minister can local farmers produce tonnes of rice we are consumed? if yes, is a good idea as far am concerned

What about Nigerian companies exporting through the same border?
Seems we have illiterates ruling us
