Nigerian President Paula Tinobo announced the opening of land and air borders with the Republic of Niger and the lifting of economic sanctions imposed on the country.
A Nigerian presidential statement said that this decision comes in response to the decisions of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which was taken during its extraordinary summit in Abuja on February 24, which discussed emergency developments related to security and peace in the region.
