| No, not the US, Nigeria. THE Comptroller General of Immigration, Rilwanu Bala Musa, said that arrangements have already been completed by the NIS to connect all border control posts to the Nigerian Satellite System (NISS) to enable officers and men "effectively monitor" activities in the borders areas from its Abuja headquarters. Musa spoke Friday when he paid a courtesy visit to Yobe State Head Man, Ibrahim Gaidam at the Government House, Damaturu, in continuation of his familiarization tour of NIS formations and facilities in the Northeast sub-region. He told the governor that surveillance cameras initially mounted to monitor and control movement of people in and out of the country, have failed to track and monitor the influx of undocumented citizens and activities of terrorists. The affected border posts in the sub-region, he said, include Machinna, Yunusari, Banki, Damasak, Kirawa, Dabar Masara, Sauro Maina and Gamboru/Ngala with Chad. |
