The Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Caroline Adepoju, has revealed a proposal to deploy e-gates and more logistics to airports and other entry sites to strengthen border security and migration management across the country.
Adepoju disclosed this in an interview with journalists in Abuja on Friday, stating that electronic gates would be installed at select airports to improve the flow of passengers entering and exiting the country.
She stated that suitable infrastructure would be implemented to ensure proper surveillance and documentation of people moving over the country’s land, air, and maritime borders adding that under her leadership, Nigerians may expect improved border security and migration management.
According to Adepoju, the agency would continue to train its workers and provide the required supplies to carry out their duties properly and efficiently.
