The Federal Government has expressed its readiness to partner with the Indian Government on total eradication of fake Nigerian passports into India.
The Minister of Interior, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, said this in a statement issued by the Deputy Director of Press and Public Relations in the ministry, Mr Afonja Ajibola, on Sunday in Abuja.
Aregbesola pledged Nigeria’s full cooperation with India through its Immigration Service to put a stop to the activities of unscrupulous persons and syndicates engaging in fraudulent procurement of fake official Nigerian travelling documents to enter India illegally. “Eventhough I will try my best to see if the issue could still be handled on humanitarian ground,” said the minister.
This, Aregbesola said, would go a long way in enhancing the performance of its paramilitary agencies like the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps , a civil protection corps that responds to emergencies.
