Amid economic hardship facing Nigerians, President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday directed the reopening of Nigeria’s land and air borders with the Republic of Niger.
He also ordered the lifting of other sanctions against the country with immediate effect.
A statement by the President’s media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, noted that the directive was in compliance with the decisions of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government at its Extraordinary Summit on February 24, 2024, in Abuja.
Tinubu also lifted the suspension of all commercial and financial transactions between Nigeria and Niger, as well as the freeze of all service transactions, including utility services and electricity to Niger Republic. The President also directed that the freezing of assets of the Republic of Niger in ECOWAS Central Banks be lifted.
