The government of Niger Republic has opened its border with Nigeria in Konni for operations.
This development comes one week after the authorities of Nigeria Customs Service opened the Illela land border between Nigeria and Niger Republic.
Recall that last week Wednesday, the Federal Government restored the supply of electricity to the Republic of Niger following the directive of Bola Tinubu that Nigeria’s land and air borders with the neighbouring country be opened.

In August 3, 2023, the power supply from Nigeria to the Republic of Niger was stopped as part of the sanctions against the neighbouring country by the Economic Community of West African States.
But, earlier in August last year, ECOWAS, led by Tinubu, imposed sanctions on Niger following a coup that toppled the country’s President-elect, Mohamed Bazoum, in July 2023.
However, in compliance with the directive of Tinubu on the immediate reopening of the land border with Niger Republic, the Controller, Nigeria Customs Service, Kebbi State command, Iheanacho Ojike, reopened Kamba land border.
