President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Nigeria Immigration Service to take steps to improve security on the country’s land borders.
The President asked the NIS to collaborate with International Security Organizations, such as INTERPOL, in safeguarding the borders.
The President said he wants the security agencies to make sure that criminal elements do not find Nigeria as a safe haven to hide and commit crime.
The President gave the charge in a speech at the virtual commissioning of the Nigeria Immigration Service Technology Building.
President Buhari said he wants to see an improvement in Nigeria’s Global Security Index ranking.
Meanwhile; the Immigration Technology Building will serve as the Command and Control Center of the NIS, as well as the storehouse of personal data of Nigerians and foreigners who live in Nigeria.
