Reports had posited during the week that the border was now open to vehicle importation.
However, Hussaini Abdullahi, the Customs Public Relations Officer (CPRO), Seme Area Command, who clarified the situation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday, said the government has not made a pronouncement on the border reopening.
Abdullahi acknowledged that a proposal was written by some freight forwarders to the FG following an advice from Ademola Adegoroye, the former minister of state for transportation.
