Badagry (Lagos State), Jan. 18, 2021 Nigeria’s Minister of State for Transportation, Sen. Gbemisola Saraki, says the emergence of Co-Chair for the Joint Border Post will strengthen bilateral relationships and ensure the facility meets March 31 handover deadline.
Saraki, during the inspection of the joint border facility at Seme-Krake on Monday, added that the deadline for the facility handover was set by the European Union.
The co-chair for both countries include Mrs Agalasi Ehigie, Director Road Transport and Mass Transit Administration, Federal Ministry of Transportation for Nigeria and Mr Ani-Toure Lamine for the Republic of Benin.
Saraki, represented by Ehigie, noted that the lockdown imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the elevation of the previous co-chair had affected and slowed down work at the post.
