Our borders remain open for Coronavirus, closed for rice-Shehu Sani

Senator Shehu Sani has reacted to the inadequate measures by the Federal government to combat the spread of coronavirus in Nigeria.

On his twitter handle, Sani pointed out that the present administration did not provide measures to place travel ban from countries recorded to have more confirmed cases of the pandemic but closed borders for rice importation.

He wrote, ”Our borders remain open for Corona and closed for Rice.”

Our borders remain open for Corona and closed for Rice.
