Reacting to questions from Alexander Okere on the plans of Ghana, should Nigeria refuses to open her borders, Clement Boateng, the national organizer, Ghana Union of traders association said:
“We are praying that it doesn’t continue. But if it continues, we will not have any option than to look somewhere else.
“We can go anywhere. One of the reasons we are doing business with Nigeria is because it is close to us. Even if you are flying in, in 45 minutes, you are in Lagos; you can do your shopping and come back. If you go by bus, in eight or nine hours, you will be in Lagos.
But if it comes to a point that the borders are not open and business cannot go on, we won’t have any other alternative than to go to Dubai or Europe and bring our goods from there. We may boycott Nigeria for Dubai and other countries if this continues.”
