Kemi Nandap: Only properly documented migrants allowed into Nigeria

Kemi Nandap, the comptroller-general (CG) of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), says only properly documented migrants are allowed into the country. 

In a statement issued on Wednesday by Kenneth Udo, NIS spokesperson, Nandap assured of the agency’s commitment to safeguarding the nation’s borders.

“I believe in a better Nigeria and I am assuring the nation of the NIS’ renewed determination to make the nation’s borders safe and protected,” she said.

“No space will be given to any criminally minded traveller across our windows.

“Only properly documented and authorised migrants, who are capable of creating or adding value through legitimate engagements, are allowed a space to reside in the country.”

Nandap also extended felicitations to all Muslim officers of the NIS, citizens and visitors across the country as they celebrate Eid-el-Fitr.

She called for enhanced synergy among security agencies, saying that “by working together, we can fortify the foundations of national defense, security and development”.
