The Presidential Committee established to look into the issue of closure of the land borders has recommended the reopening of the borders.
The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Dr. Zainab Ahmed, confirmed this in a chat with the State House correspondents on Wednesday in Abuja.
The minister said the committee would soon submit its report to President Muhammadu Buhari after which a formal pronouncement would be made on the matter.
The borders were closed since August 2019 to curtail illegal importation of drugs, small arms and agricultural products into country from neighbouring West African nations.
The minister, however, did not say when the committee will submit its report to the president.
