Nigeria's borders not closed, Tunji-Ojo tells Atiku

Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo dismissed claims by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar that Nigeria's land borders are closed, stating they were never shut. He noted the sequence of border reopenings since 2020 and clarified that prolonged closures at the Cameroon border were due to security issues related to Boko Haram, not the 2019 trade policy. Tunji-Ojo emphasized the distinction between trade regulation and security concerns.
