Nigeria and Benin have divergent views on how to combat the smuggling phenomenon that affects them and hinders trade at their borders.
Do you recall the statement of the Nigerian businessman Aliko Dangote at the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Consultative Round Table on Growth on June 8 in Lagos, Nigeria?
“No country can survive with a neighbour like Benin,” refering to smuggling, adding that Benin is partly responsible for the African giant’s poor economic performance.
Benin reacted to these remarks through Romuald Wadagni, its Minister of Industry and Trade, who did not exempt his neighbour from the same acts of smuggling.
