On the decision of the Federal Government to reopen four borders, Comptroller Umar said, “What the government has prohibited, the law will still be enforced that you cannot bring in rice, second hand clothes and all other commodities that have been restricted. Therefore, the border is open for legitimate trade and for legitimate goods.” he clarified.
