The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has announced a plan to deploy electronic gates, aircraft and drones for surveillance, aerial monitoring and improved security of Nigerian borders.
Caroline Wuraola Adepoju, the Acting Comptroller-General, NIS, who disclosed this during a retreat at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, said the acquisition of the equipment has been captured in the 2024 Ministry of interior budget.
According to Mrs Adepoju, the infrastructure will go a long way to help NIS to discharge its core mandate of monitoring the movement of persons across the country’s land, air and sea borders.
“The E-gate will be utilized early next year to ensure that our Migration Information Data Analysis System (MIDAS) improves on them, ensuring our borders, air, land and sea are fortified,” Mrs Adepoju said.
Under the plan, NIS will also invest in technology to drive the production of travel documents and other initiatives that would boost security at the country’s borders, minimising the need for direct interaction with migration officers.
