The Vice Chairman, North-West, of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bishop David Bakare, has advised the Federal Government to use modern technology to check the country’s porous borders instead of closing them.
He gave the advice while briefing newsmen in his office on the activities of his church in the last 30 years in Zaria.
Bishop Bakare said closing the borders would not solve the problems immediately but with the use of modern technology, it would address the problems .
