She said that President Muhammadu Buhari did not want to approve the closure because he was mindful of the adverse effect it would have on the economies of neighbours. “In a manner of speaking, IMF supports the border closure that we have done because they understand that the closure was not meant to be punitive.

This coordinating President Mamman Daura's Minister, is not to blame, nor IMF, but coward Nigerians. Nigerians must be sacrificed for Buhari to compensate Mamman Daura. It's abomination and Nigeria is perishing.

Not an iota of sense in this. Not one. Does the Minister understand that the border closure goes against the ECOWAS treaty? Who is manipulating Nigeria to its disgrace and woeful death?

IMF shuo..What about exports and legitimate cross border businesses?

But it doesnt support your borrowing spree

IMF wants to help Nigerians get sense by force.
