About two months ago, the Nigerian government announced the closure of the country’s land borders to all goods. According to the country’s Comptroller-General of the Customs Service, Hameed Ali, this was done to stem the influx of smuggled goods, especially rice and tomatoes, into the country.

The border closure is an economic aberration as most countries don’t usually close their borders for trade-related reasons. They do so, as in the cases of Sudan, Rwanda, Eritrea and Kenya, when their security is jeopardised. They also sometimes do so during disease epidemics, such as Ebola, that have the potential to spread across borders.

So, what does Nigeria stand to gain from this unprecedented measure? Ali pointed out that the border closure has significantly increased revenue from import duties. This increase in revenue is a welcome fillip for a country struggling to close the 2019 budget deficit of a whopping 2.18 trillion Naira. This represents about 2% of the country’s 2018 nominal GDP of 127.8 trillion Naira (about US$397 billion).

In touting the gains from the border closure, however, its latent costs should not be ignored. There are reports that the closure has set the country’s inflation rate on an upward trajectory. The inflation rate, which has been declining since April 2019, rose to 11.24% in September, driven mainly by sharp increases in food prices, the highest since June.

If the closure persists and causes sustained increases in food prices, Nigeria could see more people driven into poverty. This would result in an increase in the country’s poverty rate of about 50%. The potential to disrupt the economic lifelines of many traders who depend on legitimate cross-border trade is real.

For these and other reasons, Nigeria has no choice but to address the real problems of cross-border smuggling rather than its symptoms. At the heart of the problem is a network of wealthy smuggling cartels facilitated by corrupt border officials.

Poor paying the price
Thousands of Nigerians, especially women, engage in buying and selling of consumer goods around the border areas. They buy at low prices in one country and sell at higher prices in another. Black market foreign exchange dealers thrive at border posts.

For a country with limited employment opportunities in the formal sector, the informal activities along the borders are instrumental for the survival of many poor Nigerians.

The inability of the formal sector to absorb a growing labour force, coupled with a freeze in public-sector employment under recent economic reforms, has resulted in a bloated informal sector. This is estimated to be about 65% of the country’s GDP – the largest informal sector in sub-saharan Africa.

Informal trade along the borders is carried out by hawkers of assorted goods such as textiles, footwear, alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages. There is also trade in food, fuel, transport services and foreign currencies.

The poor in Nigeria typically don’t engage in large-scale smuggling. They lack the means of acquiring, transporting and warehousing large volumes of smuggled goods. Some poor unemployed Nigerians may engage in petty and innocuous smuggling, as a means of survival. But they are paying the price for the border closure, while those responsible for the worst cases of smuggling live comfortably.

Apart from its domestic implications, the border closure is also inconsistent with the spirit of regional economic integration. Nigeria spearheaded the establishment of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) 44 years ago with the major goal of a “free trade area” among member countries.

Nigeria’s unilateral decision reinforces the general notion that the regional bloc has not been successful at freeing up the movement of goods, services and even people within the sub-region. If that were the case, Nigeria would have coordinated its efforts at curbing smuggling with other member states.

Inept customs and immigration machinery
The border closure is an implicit admission of the ineptitude and incompetence of Nigeria’s customs and immigration officers. To thwart smuggling, the country should strengthen the capacity of customs and immigration officers to administer the country’s trade policies and laws.

To combat smuggling, for instance, Hong Kong’s strategy includes profiling all goods vehicles and private cars crossing the border. Detailed inspections are only carried out on high-risk vehicles. X-ray scanners are used to detect concealed compartments of vehicles. But all this technology is of little help without a professional and incorruptible cadre of customs officials, which Nigeria lacks.

Anyone who has travelled through Nigerian land borders would be perplexed by how unprofessional the Nigerian officials are. When I travelled in a bus from Accra to Lagos a few years ago, we were stopped at Seme on the border between Nigeria and Benin Republic. After a brief inspection of the bus, customs officials accused the driver of transporting contraband goods.

The same bus had been inspected a few hours earlier by Ghanaian, Togolese and Beninoise customs officers on our way from Accra, who found no contraband. Instead of impounding the contraband, the officers instead asked the driver to “settle” the matter. Apparently, the “settlement” offered by the driver was not sufficient, and the bus was not allowed to proceed to Lagos.

While waiting for alternative transport, I saw many goods-laden lorries pass through the border uninspected by the customs officials. I was informed by a resident of the border town that the lorry owners had “settled” the customs officials in advance.

Apart from this, the country’s land borders are very porous. There are many illegal paths through which smuggled goods can be transported. No travel documents are required on these routes and there are no checks.

Without addressing the problems of an inept customs and immigration machinery, as well as the porosity of Nigerian borders, one would only be treating the symptoms of the disease. Solutions might include the recruitment of a new cadre of customs officers, who would be trained to combat smuggling and abhor corruption.

Otherwise, when the borders are eventually reopened, the government would be handing them back to the same officials who have profited for years from smuggling.

our media have a way of drawing our government attention
they just have to put up a false reportage and the government will rush to fix the problem of the particular community.

86% of Ghana population have access to improve water and sanitation


47 million Nigerians practise open defecation – UNICEF
80 million in dire need of improved toilet


The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has said that no fewer than 47 million Nigerians still indulge in open defecation in the country.

Also, 33 million people in the country use unimproved toilet, while 90 percent of households use water that is contaminated.

Now, UNICEF further said, about 80 million Nigerians are in dire need of improved toilet as unsafe drinking water, open defecation and poor hygiene have remained major causes of under-5 death in the country.

This is coming on the heel of the newly released 2018 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey (NDHS,2018), which revealed that the number of under-5 children dying yearly have continued to increase in the last 5 years.

The latest NDHS document states that under-5 death increased from 128 deaths per 1,000 live births in the 5 years prior to the 2013 NDHS, to 132 deaths per 1,000 live births in the most recent 5-year period (about 1 million U-5 children die yearly).

Many of these needless deaths have been traced to diarrhoea and water borne disease. Latest findings from the Federal Ministry of Water Resources (FMWR) states that more than 100,000 children under 5 die each year due to diarrhoea, making Nigeria the second country with the highest Children’s death from diarrhea.

These deaths could however be reduced if there is an end to open defecation and practice of good hygiene, sanitation, UNICEF-Nigeria Communication Specialist, Geoffery Njoku, told journalists, during an EU-UNICEF sponsored media dialogue on sanitation tagged “CLEAN NIGERIA: USE THE TOILET”, which held yesterday at Tahir Hotel Kano, Kano state.

According to him, there’s a huge link between sanitation, open defecation and child survival, hence the need for all to join #The Clean Nigeria Campaign.

A breakdown of the deplorable situation of open defecation, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) situation in Nigeria, by WASH Specialist, UNICEF-Nigeria, Bioye Ogunjobi states that

“1 in 3 Nigerians does not have access to basic drinking water services. 90 percent of households use water that is contaminated.

Bra, What FG just issued wasn't to ban any importation done the right way, by closing it's land boarders.

Dangote and co you were mentioning knows how to channel their goods elsewhere without making noise, but this chest beating (threats) won't favour you guys cos our chest beating big pass una own (mind you Nigerians don't make empty threats).

If closing of the land boarder seems a problem to Ghana


Like my country pipo talk am, close your boarders while we close ours.

I wish Ghana all the best!

Just30:
Because Ghana has to
it is Ghanaian manufacturers goods that is stacked at the Benin border because your government is refusing them entry.

you are only being warn of the consequences for now because Ghana can do worse

and even Dangote and your oil marketers will feel the heat

In as much as I don't want to comment in this thread this comment of yours made me arrive at chipping in my thought.

1). Under no headline news did I come across *Nigerian government or officials went to seek/beg from Ghana* to dialogue on finding a solution to the boarder issue. *Ghana did.

2). Chest beating online isn't the same with doing that in person (even ant can form elephant online)

3). You kept shouting GUTA ,is that the ruling party or a new set of touts?

The remaining jagons you've been spilling are nothing when it comes to Nigeria.

Next......

psychologygh:
feed on this cos your coward government have already agreed to open the borders for only Ghanaian trucks inside and outside Nigeria cos they know the implications if they try anything stupid with us.GUTA is still not happy and wants your goods banned and you will be crying xenophobia and ECOWAS very soon you zoo creature. And why don't you screenshot your stupid zoo phone for us.Do you even have light in your kiosk.Have you ever experienced 24 hours electricity before.Don't let me charge on you boy.

And you think they blooooooody cya coming here to read news?

You dey mind them, I was thinking of reading headlines with names of those who have been terrorising southern Taraba and only to read "militias" as the preferred caption unlike the normal "Fulani herdsmen " not more than 3 weeks ago they attacked governor I.Darius's home town.
No much news about this horrible incidents on most media, Nigerians are full of bias that even the media houses are not left out.

Richdad50:


Islam is to date one the thirstiest diety in the history of mankind. Every diety known to man has always sought for blood as an appeasement. From the traditional gods who seek for the blood of chickens and goats to God whose thirst was quenched once and for all by the blood of his only Son, Jesus. However, the diety of Allah known to Islam cannot be satisfied regardless.

The world would have been a better place only if Mohammed had not gone inside the caves because it was in there he received the tenants of Islam. All religion except Islam can cohabit with eachother and manage differences. From Buddhism, Hinduism, traditions etc can co exist. Only Islam wrestles with all and itself.
