Onuesoke, while commending the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration over the closure of land border with neighbouring countries, however, pointed that the action and benefit expected from it will not be completed if livestock like cattle, sheep, goats and finished petroleum products, among others, are also allowed into the country.

Onuesoke, who gave the advise in Lagos, said it is disappointing that while the Nigerian Customs has been active about seizure of rice, poultry products and other goods, it has had not made mention of cattle, sheep or goat that are moved across the border by nomadic herdsmen.

According to him, “It is on record that cattle are moved from Chad, Niger and Mali into Nigeria territories by herdsmen either in search of green grass or for sale to Nigerian consumers. It is unfortunate that since the border closure nothing has been said about the movement of these livestock. Does it mean that they are exempted from the border closure policy?

“Nigeria will want to hear that hundred of cows that are entering the country are intercepted by the Customs. Rather we hear of only rice, chickens, turkey or fairly-used clothes. The Customs should allow the policy to affect all products. What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well,” Onuesoke stated.

Border closure was never about the Nigerian economy in the first place.

They think they are doing us

But they are doing themselves!!!


The life stocks they allow through the border will affect the business of the resident herdsmen and on the long run, their foreign counterparts will take over their business

Then

Poverty will be recycled.


Common sense
