Lagos – Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has berated the volume of smuggled goods coming into Nigeria through the Republic of Benin. Dangote spoke at a stakeholders’ session in Lagos between the private sector and the Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele. He said smuggling activities from the Benin Republic route is killing manufacturing in Nigeria. His words: “Smuggling is killing Nigeria and most of these smuggled goods come from the Benin Republic. There is no country that can survive with Benin Republic as a neighbour.

Dangote is right...using smuggled goods has multiple ill effects to the economy of a country. Few that I can think of are: Adverse effect on local market- the economic transaction of local markets will decline as more people would prefer smuggled goods as they are cheaper. Thus destroying competition and growth in economy. 63 Likes 4 Shares |

When a government refuses to beef up security around its borders, people will continue to take advantage of their porous borders; it is a source of income for them. That includes the northern borders through which murderers called fulani herdsmen with their kith and kin flood this country and cause mayhem. Some of them even possess our national ID cards and voters cards while some legitimate Southern citizens are unable to get theirs. 226 Likes 22 Shares |

I would blame protectionism and lack of border control. I think what's mainly being smuggled is rice, vehicles and other items on import ban list. Nigerian smugglers sneak Petroleum in Benin Republic because fuel is more expensive there. Nigeria could pressure Benin Republic on issue by threatening to close border again. Maybe more more joint opperations and patroling. The border situation is a serious issue that needs alot of attention. There's Drugs, weapons, smugglers, human trafficking and criminal gangs to worry about. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

It is a fact that cannot be denied that no country is self sufficient hence the need for international trade, this is not to give credit to smuggling as it's activities cannot be captured in the balance of payment (BOP) of a country . The question here is are we producing enough as a country locally to cater for the needs of the citizenry to warrant total close of these borders or at best producing QUALITY produce enough. Dangote as a capitalist will most times speak to favour and protect his interest (profit making), even though we want more of Dangote still we cannot leave the economy in the hands of these individuals cos of thier quest to make profit even at the expense of human life with sky rocketing prices of thier produce. In conclusion the GOVERNMENT need to step up her activities in the area of local production and reduce importation especially on items we cannot produce locally, subsidizing prices of goods and services and providing the needed CHECK on our borders not just seme border but the rest inclusive. God bless Nigeria. 13 Likes 3 Shares |
