President Muhammadu Buhari has said there were job provisions when he “deliberately” closed the country’s borders.

Buhari made the disclosure during the inauguration of the new Customs Headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.

According to the President, the move was heavily criticised, however, Nigerians later appreciated it.

He said it encouraged food production in Nigeria.

Buhari believed that Nigeria can be self-sufficient in food production.

He said:

“I deliberately closed the borders because knowing Nigerians, they order rice, give some Niger address, and then they bring the rice here.

“With our land potential – we thank God Nigeria is favoured. We have people, we have land, and we have weather. How many nations are as lucky as Nigeria in the world? Very few nations are as lucky as we are! We thank God for that.

“So, closing that border – 1,600 kilometres from Lake Chad to Benin – and Nigerians insist they that they have to impress their neighbours and other people and they eat foreign rice. I said, ‘No rice.’

“You eat what you grow or you die. I tried to make my point. Later Nigerians appreciated it because it provided more jobs.

“People got back to the lands – we have them– and we produced what we eat. Let whoever grows excess rice eat his own rice or sell it somewhere else.”
