country’s borders is in the interest of the citizenry.
Joseph Attah, Deputy Comptroller and Public Relations
Officer of the NCS, in a chat with the News Agency of
Nigeria in Abuja on Friday, encouraged the public to be
patient as it was for the greater good.
He said: “Well you cannot get to a destination If you don’t
want to endure the journey. Nigerians are desirous of an
economically viable country, a secured nation.
“Therefore certain actions have to be taken, partial border
closure is part of it, because a secured border is a secured
nation.
“You cannot open your doors to all sorts of things that can
compromise your economy and security.
“Especially when you have neighbours who at will, want to
engage in activities that will make effective policing of your
border difficult.
“So you take decisions that will call them to order and bring
situation to perspective so that going forward we have a
better border security and create enabling environment for
local businesses to thrive.”
Attah noted that most decisions taken by the service were
based on the best interest of Nigerians and the overriding
need to maximise revenue for economic development.
