Nigeria’s federal government has revealed that, it has granted a special waiver to BUA Cement to export its products through the land borders.
This special waiver comes on the back of the Federal government granting Dangote Cement special waiver to export cement through the land borders to Niger and Togo.
It can be recalled that, President Buhari in October 2019 ordered a closure of the land borders to curb the smuggling of arms, food items, and hard drugs into the country.
The said closure, which was geared towards boosting local production and strengthening security, has in turn taken a significant toll on neighboring countries such as Togo, Ghana, and Cote D’Ivoire that rely on Nigeria’s market of over 200 million people.
Businesses in Nigeria haven’t been spared either, with many of them unable to export their products through the land borders as a result of the closure.
