President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the policies taken by his administration were deliberately made for the development of the country, noting that Nigerians now appreciate why he closed the nationās borders.
He stated this on Tuesday at the inauguration of a new Customs Headquarters, built at the cost of N19.6 billion, in Abuja.
Buhari said that such policies became legacy programmes because they later brought about the delight of the people and the country.
He stated that the ban on the importation of foreign rice, for instance, was one such policy.
āI deliberately closed the borders. I said it is either you eat what you grow or you grow what you eat and later Nigerians appreciated it,ā he said.
