The land borders were closed to goods in August 2019, with partial openings and
closings for people prompted by the coronavirus pandemic throughout 2020. President @MBuhari has directed the immediate opening of four land borders : Seme, Illela, Maigatari, and Mfun.“A number of Nigerian business leaders have been complaining about Cotonou’s attitude. They claim their trucks going to Benin are overtaxed at the border,” says a Beninese businessman with links in Nigeria. “In addition, businessman Aliko Dangote, who bought the Nigerian government’s shares in the Lafarge group, wants to sell his cement in Benin, which Talon is prohibiting.”
No surprise then that Dangote emerged as a mediator between Buhari and Benin president Patrice Talon.
