Briefing journalists after the bilateral meeting at the Anguwar Sule Wara in Benin Republic border station, Nigeria’s minister of foreign affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar said the meeting was designed to boost trade and commerce between the two countries.

Tuggar said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed that the bilateral relationship between Nigeria and the Benin Republic be reopened to strengthen trade and commerce in the two countries.

The minister said the meeting identified some challenges such as infrastructure and security that the two sister nations must address.

The minister said if Nigeria and Benin Republic borders had been better handled, they would have boosted revenue generation and the economies of the countries.
