The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Information, National Orientation, Ethics and Values, Olusola Fatoba, has canvassed support for the manufacturing sector to discourage imports and boost the country’s economy.

This was just as he said clamours in some quarters for the reopening of borders were unnecessary as Nigerians should be preoccupied with how to produce what Nigerians consume rather than dependence on foreign-produced goods.

The lawmaker representing Ado/Irepodun-Ifelodun Local Government Areas of Ekiti State in the National Assembly spoke during a chat with journalists in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State capital on Tuesday.

He said, “Re-opening the borders will not solve the economic crisis the nation has found itself, but it will rather cripple the country. I am not an advocate or a supporter of opening of our borders for foreign goods to be brought into our country.

Since you people closed it has our economy faired any better?

The border in the northern part of Nigeria has never been closed look at the economy please stop that nonsense.

Common sense stuff. We can't compete with our neighbours because of rent-seeking elements among us.

Now that the borders are close is the economy walking smoothly?
