The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has requested the assistance of the Jigawa State government in establishing three additional e-border stations within the state.
The appeal was made by Haladu Usman, the Assistant Controller-General for North-West, during a courtesy visit to Governor Umar Namadi on Tuesday in Dutse.
Usman emphasised that e-border stations are crucial for monitoring border activities to combat criminal movements and smuggling.
He highlighted that the e-border project aims to enhance surveillance and reduce trans-border crimes by providing continuous border monitoring.
“We want to appeal for your kind attention to look into ways of assisting the service so that it can establish more e-border stations in Kumsa, Dangwanki, and Galadi,” Usman stated.
He noted that while the NIS is eager to expand the e-border stations, challenges related to acquiring land have hindered their progress.
Usman commended the Jigawa State government for its ongoing support, which has facilitated the service’s operations and effectiveness.
He urged Governor Namadi to consider providing land for the proposed e-border stations to enhance security measures in the state.
In response, Governor Namadi acknowledged the importance of the e-border project as part of the state’s security framework.
He praised the initiative for its use of technology to address modern security challenges, stating, “The innovation of the e-border project is a good one because in today’s world, without technology, you will be left behind.”
The governor assured Usman of the state’s support in facilitating the establishment of the new e-border stations.
He directed the state controller to work with the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) to explore ways to provide the necessary support for the project’s expansion.
