Immigration lifts restrictions on movement at Nigeria-Niger Border
  By Nabila Khamis
 
The Comptroller-General of Immigration,  Kemi Nandap, has directed that restrictions on movement at Nigeria- Niger border be lifted.
 
Nandap gave the directive in a statement signed by the Acting Service Public Relations Officer,  Mr Kenneth Kure, on Thursday in Abuja.
 
The CGI’s order followed an earlier order by the Federal Government for the reopening of the borders between the two countries which were shut down in conformity with the decision of ECOWAS.
 
The ECOWAS had imposed sanctions on the Niger Republic including the closure of land and air borders, following the coup that ousted President Mahamed Bazoum.
