The
attention of the Federal Government
of Nigeria has been drawn to public
enquiries over media reports that
Nigeria has closed its borders
against her neighbouring Niger
Republic .
I wish
to state that the Federal Government
of Nigeria has not closed its
borders with Niger Republic .
The
media reports are false, misleading
and baseless.
I
therefore appeal to the general
public on behalf of the Federal
Government of Nigeria to disregard
this rumour which is capable of
creating avoidable frosty diplomatic
relations between Nigeria and Niger
Republic .
