Irregular migration threat to peaceful polls, NIS boss warns | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News Nigerians Nigeria
The Comptroller General, Isah Idris, raised the concern at the commissioning of assorted radio and communication equipment worth millions of naira donated to the agency by international telecommunications infrastructure giant, IHS Towers Nigeria, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility in Abuja.
“These modern telecommunications radio equipment will entrench a more effective and efficient integration and inter-connectivity between the Service’s formations and the headquarters. This will further enhance communications as part of efforts towards emplacing border patrol operations and strategies to combat recurring trend of irregular migration,” the CG noted.
“This is in view of the fact that this national exercise places enormous task on NIS to not only effect the presidential directive on border closure during the elections, but to equally work with other security agencies as stakeholders to guarantee conduct of free and fair elections.” His words: “There is actually nothing more noble than giving back to the community that we operate in through the various government agencies that do a lot to keep this country safe.
