The Comptroller-General of Immigration Service, Muhammad Babandede, has said 1,579,773 persons passed through the Nigeria's borders in 2020.
Babandede said passenger movement across the air borders was 1,256,652, while the land borders recorded 109,854, and the seaport, 213,161. About 106 stowaways were intercepted during the period. A statement on Tuesday by the NIS spokesman, Sunday James, said Babandede noted that the service has put in place strategies to effectively “strike the nexus between trade and people facilitation, human rights and right of countries to protect its sovereignty and security, economic development and risk to life and prosperity of the nation, ensuring that it maintains active presence across the land, air and blue border lines of the country.’’
