Comptroller-General of Immigration, Muhammad Babandede, disclosed this during the passing out ceremony of the 44th Superintendent Basic Course for 396 trained officers from the Immigration Training School, Kano.
According to him: “In the next three months, the Service would commence issuance of Residence Permits to Foreign Nationals resident in the country and anybody who failed to possess his own before the expiration of the stipulated time faces deportation.
“In the face of serious insecurity facing the country, the only option left for the service is the issuance of Permits for all Foreign Nationals living in the country.
“In the face of global reality coupled with the insurgency and other serious security threats, Nigeria must take all necessary steps in protecting its sovereignty for the citizens to go about their lawful businesses in peace.”
Babandede noted the Service has taken serious steps in ensuring “our borders are protected and Nigeria becomes safer for business and encourage the inflow of foreign direct investments without undermining national security.”

ReplyDeleteThat is a good one.
ReplyDeleteNigerians talk alot,the time is right for us to minimise the talk and get into action.
we need transparency and accountability to permeate in every nook and cranny of offices in Nigeria;by so doing things will fall in place for us.
IT CAN WORK if only all hands would be on deck in achieving that goal.
God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.
Let's see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteDead on arrival... Bribery and corruption will kill this project.
ReplyDeleteAs usual nonsense from our officials... How did they get into the country in the 1st place. Was it not our embassy that gave them visas... is it not through our borders they entered... so which permit do they want to issue again.. another scam to make money
ReplyDeleteimagine them picking you up and tell you that you are cameroonian while you come from igbo...there is no data base how will they identify immigrant.there will be so many civil suit. jst like the case of shagba darman V interior minister
ReplyDeleteDatabase for where, their on the road verbally asking for your state of origin and LGA, even ask you to speak your language, if your wearing a long sleeve you pull it up ( looking for immunisation mark) or you bribe them 5000.
DeleteAm sure that only those aboki from our neighbouring country will be interested
ReplyDeleteI dont think this can work when we have so many chadians,Ghanaians, malians and all the likes here.
ReplyDeleteAnother form of wastage,PMB should just build a wall.
