Quotes “Personally, I think that is the best decision so far taken by the President as far as the economy of Nigeria is concerned." “That is because you do not just allow your country to be flooded with goods from other countries, making your own citizens very lazy; making them consumers only and not producers." “I think it does not help anybody saying that borders should be opened to importers anyhow while smuggling goes on uncontrolled." “Apart from making us lazy, we are still losing income; we are losing revenue because all these people smuggling goods through road borders are not paying anything." “But if things should be coming in through the ports like the airports and the seaports, then, there will be scrutiny of all the things coming in." “Apart from the revenue, you also safeguard your people because these smugglers bring in arms and ammunition and all sorts of dangerous weapons that bandits are using,” External links Category:Politicians from Nigeria Category:Living people
