The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Mohammad Babandede, has said only the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , can decide when the borders will be reopened.

Babandede spoke during the NIS project validation meeting with senior officers in Abuja on Tuesday.The NIS chief said, “The borders are partially closed and this is in line with the ECOWAS rules where you must have travel documents. You must enter through the legal routes and with documents.”

He insisted the borders were closed to protect the country, adding that the measure was not targeted at some neighbouring countries.According to him, the visa-on-arrival policy is not at variance with border closure. On his part, the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Hameed Ali, told journalists, “All goods, for now, are banned from being exported or imported through our land borders to ensure that we have total control over what comes in.”All rights reserved.

Let him decide.

Of course. Right now he is thinking of this on his trip as he recharges

Buhari is in London jare... Voicemail

Sure, like an Emperor that he is. He decides for the senate, reps, judiciary, and the entire country, unless he also decides not to. Kudos.

Let the border close permanent

This is what you get when millions of people have to depend on one man in Abuja for border opening/closure, power generation, oil revenue, economy. The result? A country that is anchored to a dead elephant. Break this country up or decentralized this huge joke!

Buhari shouldn't worry his dumb head whether to reopen borders in the South, After all the policy was hopelessly ineffective. Who in their right mind take orders from incompetent commander in chief, this is a photo of MaziNnamdiKanu at parent's burial on the 14th Feb 2020.

U guys should better open dat border oooh

Something that they said would be January, now as turn to when buhari decide

Mtcheew

We close the border so that we can eat our local rice while the senators are going for 400 expensive car abroad.

When the killings stopped it was attributed to the border closure, now that the killings have resumed in full swing do we attribute it to the corruption of security agents enforcing the border closure?

Buhari don tire? Rubbish and incompetence.

Power is too much at the center. Decentralisation of this is key to sustainable prosperity and security.

Chaimo chaimo..Twale Baba

Christmas Is Over, What's Left. It's Long Overdue. He Should Reopen It.

Don’t need to reopen pls
