Nigeria yansh will now be more exposed since we are still not self-suffucient in rice production as about 80% or more of our local consumption is from importation.Nigeria is simply back to the 1983-85 era.

I support their decision 100%. Good for Nigeria and Nigerian farmers.

Very smart move. If their rice finishes, their level of hunger will increase too.

Niger Republic has banned the exportation of rice to Nigeria following the closure of Nigeria’s borders.

Since August 20, 2019, Nigeria has closed its borders in four geopolitical zones across the country, which include South-South, South-West, North-Central and North-West.

In his address during a joint press briefing in Abuja on Monday, the Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service, Hameed Ali, revealed that Niger Republic recently banned the export of rice to Nigeria as a result of the closure.

He said, “The government, through diplomatic channels will continue to engage our neighbours to agree to comply with ECOWAS Protocol on Transit.

“Goods that are on the prohibition list in Nigeria, such as rice, used clothing, poultry products and vegetable oil should not be exported to the country.

“As a result of this closure, Niger Republic has already circulated an order banning exportation of rice in any form to Nigeria.”

Hopefully Benin Republic is expected to do same as Nigerian farmers now smile to the bank with sales of local rice on the increase and beans with garri farmers smiling along with their tomatoes counterparts

Buhari on overdrive.. if another IBB doesnt crop up to destroy what he is painfully building then in the long run Nigerians would thank him

LocalNietzsche:
Ignorance is wickedness. Woe to the ignorant people and government officials that support this ban. I just have to buy rice at a much much higher price just because some of you want to eat local rice only. Something has to be unaffordable to me because of your preferences. Woe to the supporters of famine because the manna falls from heaven and not from their hands. Woe to all of you that block heaven is only you that will die in this hell.
