The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kemi Nandap, has said no space will be given to any criminally-minded travellers across the windows of the country.
Mrs Nandap gave the assurance in a statement by the service Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, on Wednesday in Abuja.
The CG extended hearty felicitations to all Muslim officers and men of the NIS, Nigerians and migrants residing in the country.
Nandap felicitated with President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubumi Tunji-Ojo, on the auspicious occasion.
She also commended Muslims who, through shared commitment and dedication, took time out to fast and pray for the security, unity and welfare of the country.
She charged Nigerians to continually promote Godly virtues on a daily basis while affirming the NIS commitment to border security and management.
Mrs Nandap stated, “I believe in a better Nigeria and I am assuring the nation of the NIS’ renewed determination to make the nation’s borders safe and protected. No space will be given to any criminally-minded traveller across our windows. Only properly documented and authorised migrants, who are capable of creating or adding value through legitimate engagements, are allowed a space to reside in the country.’’
She called for an enhanced synergy among security agencies, saying that, “by working together, we can fortify the foundations of national defence, security and development.’’

Kano State governor, Abba Yusuf, has congratulated Africa’s richest man and President, Dangote Conglomerate, Aliko Dangote, on his 67th anniversary.
Mr Yusuf described Dangote as an illustrious son of Kano, whose philanthropic gestures bred livelihoods to millions of households in Nigeria and the African continent.
This is contained in a statement by his Director-General, Media and Publicity, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa.
He said Mr Dangote remained a strong backbone to the nation’s economy and critical to the growth and development of Africa.
He said, “Kano, your ancestral home will remain grateful for your humanitarian gestures especially the recent distribution of palliatives to millions of the less-privileged. Your readiness to partner and support our administration’s policy drive will surely propel profoundly social and economic development of the state.
“As you clock a new era in the annals of history, we can only wish you sound health, profound wisdom, and long life to propel positive impact on humanity.’’
In a related development, Mr Yusuf also extended condolences to the family and members of the Hausa film industry following the demise of the veteran actress Saratu Gidado, popularly known as Daso.
Ms Daso passed away in the early hours of Tuesday at her residence in Kano.
Mr Yusuf reminisced about her portrayals of both antagonistic and nurturing characters.
He said that the majority of her cinematic works exemplified values of discipline, tenacity, and ethical standards essential for socio and national advancement.
He urged stakeholders in the Hausa film industry to emulate the late Saratu Gidado’s virtues of fostering national unity.
