Nigeria Border Closure: ECOWAS Forms Committee by Nobody: 9:12pm On Nov 16, 2019
Leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have encouraged member states affected by the closure of Nigerian land borders to continue consultations to reach a solution acceptable to all parties.

In a communique issued at the end of the ECOWAS Extraordinary Summit in Niger last Friday, the authority of heads of state chose the President of Burkina Faso, Mr Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, who is the ECOWAS Champion for the free movement of people and goods, to lead working sessions between ministers in charge of Trade and Finance of Benin, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Niger, Nigeria and Togo.

A tripartite meeting between Nigeria, Benin and Niger was also planned to find a solution to the border closure .

"These meetings will seek to deepen discussions on trade among member states in the sub-region," the communique added.

Even though the Niger Summit focused mainly on the political crisis in Guinea Bissau, but the heads of state also took time to discuss the situation of the closure of the Nigerian borders.

Briefings

"The authority was briefed on the border closure between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Republic of Benin on one hand, and the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Republic of Niger on the other hand, " the communique said.

It further stated that the summit noted ongoing actions being taken by the ECOWAS Commission with the deployment of a task force on the free movement of goods and persons.

If Nigeria opens its border before December, I will start seeing buhari as a weakling, why open it if you haven't achieve your aims of shutting it?

There is nothing called ECOWAS but Nigeria. When Nigeria sneezes, Africa catches cold. Thank you Buhari.

Another wailing rehearsal. Whenever the government decides to open the boarder is ok.

Those who were never consulted for the closure should not be positioning themselves to be the ones setting the condition of reversing the closure.

No serious Nation in the world has opened border but controlled ones.

The nations should meet the Nigerian Government's conditions and stop been a passage route for Non-African Goods.

I wonder why nations will want to sell without borders but control their borders against our migrants.

Nigerian leaders should not just do something that will inflict pains to the masses. Whatever their decision is will either mock them or praise them
