The federal government, through the Nigeria Customs Service, has directed that petroleum products should not be supplied to fuel stations within 20km of the borders.
The Comptroller General of Customs, Hammed Ali issued the directive in a memo dated November 6.
This development may bring about further hardship to residents in the border communities of Badagry. But the government says the continued closure of the border will bring about more economic prosperity for the country.
Do they know people live in Badagry – Nigerians? Or that Nigerians owns transport businesses and shops at the border? How do you punish your own people in the name of making another country “suffer”?
