NIS Seeks Traditional Rulers Support on Immigrant
e-Registration
The Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service, Muhammed
Babadende has called on traditional rulers to support the ongoing
Migrant e-Registration project in capturing data of non-Nigerians
in their domains.
Babandede made the call when he paid courtesy calls on
traditional rulers in Delta State.
He said: “the Federal Government has directed all foreigners in
the country to register with the Nigerian Immigration Service
within six months under the migrant e-registration programme of the
agency.
He said that any alien who failed to comply would be declared an
illegal migrant.
The e-registration would aid internal monitoring and integration
while enhancing national security.
“The migrant registration, like the passport, will be linked
with national identity eco-system to generate a unique number that
will eventually connect to all identity system in Nigeria.”
During the working visit to Delta state, Babandede met with
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, the Asagba of Asaba,
Professor Chike Edozien and the Olu of Warri, Ikenwoli 1, Ogiame
