Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has indicated he could reopen the country’s land borders “as soon as possible” after they were shut last year to control smuggling activities.

Nigeria is bordered by Benin, Cameroon, Chad and Niger.

Mr Buhari told state governors on Tuesday that the closure of borders was “an attempt to control the smuggling of weapons and drugs”.

“Now that the message has sunk in with our neighbours, we’re looking into reopening the borders as soon as possible,” he tweeted.
