He said, “We have reduced the number of checkpoints along Idiroko road. That is part of trade facilitation. We had numerous checkpoints before, and there will still be; but the real business people, once they (security agents) see their trucks and documents, they don’t disturb them.

“We have taken this step alongside the Commissioner of Police and the Director of DSS to reduce the number of checkpoints considerably. If you come to Idiroko for genuine and legitimate business, no one will disturb you.”
