Rumors are circulating around various social media platforms regarding the lifting of the border ban between Nigeria and neighboring countries like Cameroon, Niger etc by the newly innugurated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

This speculation has prompted numerous online reactions from Nigerian individuals, with some citizens who have been praying for divine intervention to persuade President Tinubu to reopen the border expressing thanks to the president.

A significant number of ctizens, both educated and uneducated, share the belief that the closure of Nigerian borders by former President Muhammadu Buhari was a big setback for his administration, as it was strongly linked to the rising prices of food items in the country.

But others believe that this move will discourage local Production and bring to waste to efforts of former President Buhari to transform Nigeria into a producing nation.
They believe that with this move, all sorts of inferior and contraband goods will gain entrance into the country and cause more harm than good.

Nigeria, a country with a population of approximately 200 million and still counting heavily relies on agricultural products, particularly staple foods, from neighboring countries because local Production is not enough. However, factors such as insurgencies, leakages in Internally Generated Revenue, and the promotion of locally made products led former President Muhammadu Buhari to make the decision to close the border.

Despite the growing speculation, investigations made indicate that the presidency has not yet lifted the ban on Nigerian borders or made any official statement to that effect.
