No law stopping cross-border movements – FG
The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, noted this while addressing State House Correspondents on Wednesday after the virtual Federal Executive Council meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
“We completed the installation of MIDAS at all international airports in Nigeria. The construction of a world class technology building to manage all Nigeria Immigration Service ICT enhanced systems in Nigeria is nearing completion.“We have deployed the Visa-On-Arrival with biometric features at all entry points . Migration Information Data Analysis System has now been deployed at all entry points .
Asked how the migration information data would be used to checkmate the land borders especially as the borders are porous, he said:”Let me be clear and remind us of the fact that our boundaries are artificial. “There is nothing known to law that can prevent cross border movements because the same community is now located in two different countries through the artificialty of the boundary. So we are increasing our engagement with the community.
“Yes what we need to do is about far more but four forward operation bases with arm patrol are already in operation, I have commissioned some. We are not limiting it to that.
