Adeniyi emphasised the need to address some of the challenges associated with manning Nigeria’s vast and porous land borders.

He said: “The porous nature of the nation’s borders necessitates this visit to NSA to fashion the best way to tackle the menace of smuggling, which has adverse effects on our economy and security.”
