The federal government may have lifted the ban on importation of vehicles through the land borders, it has been revealed.
The development is projected to revitalise economic activities within the corridor.
Daily Trust reports that the last administration had closed land borders between Nigeria and Cotonou, Benin Republic, and subsequently banned the importation of vehicles through that axis.
The Director of Road Transport in the Ministry of Transportation, Ibrahim Musa, yesterday, however, disclosed that the federal government has approved the re-opening of the Seme border for the importation of vehicles.
He disclosed this at the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) meeting, organised between officials of Nigeria and Benin.
Musa said the development followed complaints by freight forwarders operating at the border.
