Insecurity, including terrorism and kidnapping, is choking the trade lifeline that links Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon, a report by Premium Times Nigeria has warned.
The Cameroon‑Chad corridor, a key route for goods moving between the three countries, has seen its economic activity severely disrupted by rising security threats.
Local businesses and traders along the route report delays and increased costs as convoys are forced to take longer, safer paths or halt altogether.
Experts say that the persistent insecurity not only hampers trade but also threatens regional economic stability and the livelihoods of communities that depend on cross‑border commerce.
The Premium Times article highlights the urgent need for coordinated security measures to restore confidence and reopen the corridor for commerce.
