A week later, Niger Republic opens its land border with Nigeria in return

The Niger Republic's government opened its border in Konni for business on Friday afternoon, one week after the Nigerian Customs Service officials opened the country's land border with Nigeria on the Presidency's instruction.

The border was officially opened at precisely noon on Friday, according to source. 

He expressed his admiration for the military junta's choice to keep the border open in response to the people's desires for change.

“It is a commendable effort at least by the government to have done the needful at last.

“It is our collective prayer that this border too should be reopened after the Nigeria side was declared open.

“I want to believe that this will definitely help a lot in the improvement of the economy of these two countries, as it will facilitate more trading activities between Nigeria and Niger Republic,” he added.
