Immigration boss congratulates Muslims, warns errant migrants

Comptroller General, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mrs Kemi Nandap, has said no space would be given to criminally-minded migrants in the country. Nandap gave the warning in a statement by the agency’s Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, yesterday, in Abuja.

Nandap felicitated with President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubumi Tunji-Ojo, on the occasion of the sallah celebration. He also extended felicitations to all Muslim officers and men of the NIS, Nigerian citizens, and migrants resident in the country.

The minister commended all Muslims who, through shared commitment and dedication, took time out to fast and pray for the security, unity and welfare of the country. She charged all Nigerians to continually promote Godly virtues daily while affirming the agency’s commitment to border security and management.

“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.

“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,” she said.
