Borno, Chad to strengthen trade ties amid security challenges

Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has committed to enhancing economic ties with Chad to revive trade, which has suffered from the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency.

During a meeting yesterday with a Chadian delegation led by General Abdulkarim Idris Derby Itno, Zulum announced plans for a visit to Chad to discuss restoring waterways between Baga and Chad for commerce, as well as coordinating with local chambers of commerce to strengthen economic partnerships.

He also plans to facilitate the repatriation of Nigerian refugees from Chad.
