The Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir-Yusuf, has asked President Bola Tinubu to consider reopening the land borders to help improve food security across the country.
Recall that the Federal Government under the administration of Muhammadu Buhari, shut the border to support made in Nigeria food and to essentially boost the economy.
“We wish to appreciate the president’s intervention in the ongoing national food initiative.
“He considers Kano as the host for the initiative ahead of its planned launch believing that the programme will cushion the effects of food scarcity if implemented.
“Another immediate intervention that can make food available and affordable to our population is for the Federal Government to consider the reopening of the borders and allow free importation of commodities,” he said
