FG to set up Command and Control Centre over Irregular Migration
The Federal Government on Monday in Abuja said it will soon establish a Command and Control Centre to check irregular migration into the country.
Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo disclosed this at the induction ceremony for operational officers of the Command and Control Centre for Regular Migration.
He said; “Nigeria is at the centre of migration management within the subregion. Nigeria does not have the luxury that some other countries have, because of our geographical location. We are in the Sahel region and the Gulf of Guinea. The tendency for migration towards Nigeria from the sahelian states is there.
“What we are doing today is the regular migration command and control centre. Very soon, we will come up with the irregular migration command and control centre. We won’t just rely on our airports but ensure that our land and marine borders, anybody coming in, is pre-profiled. Very soon the president will be commissioning the e-gates in our international airports.
“This is a scheme where there is no margin of error, where you cannot do guess work, where you have to be mentally alert and ready to sacrifice for the sake of the fatherland. Security must be 100 percent accurate and not 99.9 percent because the 0.1 percent inaccuracy can destroy the 99 percent. Therefore, we are providing round the clock power supply because we cannot afford to have a downtime.
“Finally, NIS is beginning to give meaning to its name, in that it has gone beyond just a travel document processing agency but a critical organ in terms of our national security architecture.
