The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has launched an extensive effort to track down foreign nationals residing in the country who do not possess a valid residence permit.
Samson Umar Agada, the controller of the Jigawa State Command of NIS, made this announcement during a press briefing on Friday, which followed the parading of suspected human traffickers.
Agada clarified that one of the primary responsibilities of the NIS is to guarantee that foreign residents in the country adhere to Nigeria’s established rules and regulations while ensuring the accuracy of their travel documents.
According to him, “Before my arrival, this aspect of inspection of companies was not active; but since my arrival, we have instituted a powerful team that will be going into companies to fish out non-Nigerians whose stay in the country is not within the rules.”
