Human Rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria Femi Falana, has asked the Federal Government to open the borders, thereby asking them to urgently dialogue with neighbouring countries to fight the menace of smuggling which necessitated the country’s border to be closed.
Falana gave the advice while delivering a paper on Rule of Law, Good Governance and Economic Development at the annual conference of the ECOWAS Court of Justice in Accra, Ghana. “Instead of resorting to the unilateral closure of borders the federal government should drag the Republics of Benin and Niger to the Court of Justice of the ECOWAS for breaching the ECOWAS Protocol by allegedly encouraging the smuggling of petrol, rice and other products. In the alternative, smuggling should be addressed like terrorism which is being jointly combated by Nigeria and her neighbours.
Can someone like this man Rule Nigeria instead of all this illiterates recruits soldier MBuhari 🖕🖕🖕
Abeg open am
This falana thinks he knows all Man, no case here
This man again? He always support what FG is against. Let the neighbouring countries ban us, we don't mind. We are above 200m, they need us, we don't need them. Thank u DLaw, concentrate on getting Sowore bail terms perfected
Why does Falana want the FG to reopen borders? Government has come out to explain why the borders must temporarily remained closed for now . And it did that for good reasons.
Good no one listen to u
When someone has an opinion on everything then. Trump's America is building Border Walls despite tech,Homeland & other security (Naval,Marines) but Nigeria can't I assume the All-knowing SAN shld know that various mutual agreements were signed but not respected SAN face Lawyering
Hope they will listen to your advice.
