Newsonline reports that the Federal Government says it has commenced the process of deploying technology to enhance security at the country’s borders. This will include the installation of surveillance cameras across the country’s borders for real-time monitoring.
The Acting Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Isa Idris, who disclosed this, said Chinese technology vendor, Huawei, has been contracted to deliver the e-border project.
While noting that the deployment of technology is the best solution to the country’s border challenge, he said efforts have reached an advanced stage to launch electronic border management systems across 84 border locations.
Speaking with journalists during a virtual interactive session, the Acting CG noted that Nigeria’s borders are very massive covering 5,330 kilometres and with a total of an estimated 1,490 illegal entry points into the country. Yet, he added, the entire workforce of NIS is not more than 25,000.
