As if the hardship on the people is not enough there are some people who would want to test the will of the government and the government is saying such actions are unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can see behind me are trucks that were apprehended and brought here. They were intercepted by the military.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it is believed that these products are being transported out of the country, because if you look at it, where is the community at the border area in Adamawa State that requires this amount of cement to be used?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Nguroje said, \u201cPersonnel have been deployed throughout the state to enforce the government order, banning transportation of building materials across the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, a drama ensued when one Abiola Oyetunji, identified on the waybill as the contact person, expressed surprise that the truck had left the company\u2019s depot in Yola.<\/p>\n<p>She said that the trucks could only leave the depot after the goods have been sold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve not sold the cement yet. How could the truck have moved out of the depot in Yola? The driver told me he was at the depot up to this time,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
