Lawmaker Sesi Whingah, who represents Badagry in Nigeria’s House of Representatives, recently shared promising news for local traders and business owners. During a Badagry Stakeholders and Youth Engagement event on August 31, Whingah revealed that Nigeria’s borders will soon reopen for commercial activities.
The prolonged border closure has significantly impacted businesses in the region, leading to reduced commercial activities and financial strain. Addressing these concerns, Whingah assured the local community that the government is committed to improving the economic situation. He highlighted that the border reopening is part of a broader strategy to boost internal revenue and support economic growth.
Whingah expressed empathy for the challenges faced by his constituents and emphasized that the current administration is actively working to resolve these issues. The anticipated reopening of the borders is expected to bring relief and revive commercial activities in Badagry and beyond.
