Atiku’s campaign says border closure failed policy

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has described the border closure policy of the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration as a failure.

Spokesperson of the PCC, Senator Dino Melaye, said the policy had been unable to curtail the rising price of rice and stop smuggling even in President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state of Katsina.

Melaye said, “One of the touted gains of the border closure, according to APC, is the phantom rice revolution arising from containing smuggling of imported rice through border closure. Nigerians are, however, wondering why rice is now more expensive and unaffordable during and after the border closure.”
