Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Friday begged Nigerians to bear
with the government over the closure of the border with
neighbouring countries.
Osinbajo speaking at the ongoing town hall meeting which
coincide with the National Festival of Arts and Culture, NAFEST in
Edo State, said the border closure is in the interest of the
country and local producers especially farmers.
He also said that government closed the borders because “we want
our neighboring countries to begin to take us very very
serious.”
Osinbajo was responding to the question by the Vice President of
Edo market women, Mrs. Christiana Omokaro who cried to him about
the high cost of rice and other foodstuffs in the market.
She also asked the VP to look at the epileptic state of power
supply in the country.
