Save The Soul Transparency And Eagle Eyes International Foundation (STEIF) has cautioned the federal government against plans to create multiple channels of granting permanent residency status to foreigners in Nigeria through issuance of Brown Card.
STEIF’s Chief Research analyst, Dr. George Davidson, who made this observation Wednesday in Abuja at a press conference, said the alleged plan by the Ministry of Interior to introduce a Brown Card to foreigners was nothing but an attempt to exploit and extort money from the foreigners.
Davidson insisted that chapter 3, section 25, 26, 27 and 28 of the 1999 constitution of the country which stated the appropriate measures and categories of citizenship must be followed. “It is worthy to note that the essence for which the card is designed has been adequately handled by the Nigeria Immigration Service , through its technical partners, thence the institution should rather be strengthened to curb and check any loopholes observed in the existing structure than to deploy the scarce resources of the country into creating a new system which will create an avenue for exploitation and corruption and above all security threat in the country.
