The Minister of Interior, Mr Rauf Aregbesola has disclosed that the country’s boarders are now more secured with the deployment of data capturing system at all land entry points.
He, however, added that reopening of land boarders does not permit movement of contraband goods into the country, saying all commodities that are not produced in the ECOWAS subregional countries remain outlawed.
Aregbesola while speaking fielding questions from journalist in Ilesa during the weekend said government cannot stop the movement of people, especially citizens of the sub regional states, but ensure proper and efficient documentation of inflow in the country.
