The Federal Government has declared the land borders would be reopened soon.

The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, says the Federal Government would soon reopen land borders across the country.

Recall that the borders were closed in August 2019 to curtail illegal importation of drugs, small arms and agricultural products into country.
