And happily the Federal Government had approved the e-border that will cover Maigatari here in Jigawa and other borders across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have infrastructure already, so cameras and drones will be used so as to patrol the borders adequately, but this is capital intensive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, I want to assure you that the deployment of this technology will soon start,\u201d Mr Jere said.<\/p>\n<p>He appealed to the state government to assist the Immigration service with vehicles in order to ensure constant patrol of the Maigatari border.<\/p>\n<p>The CG also appealed to traditional institutions in the state to support the service with vital information about suspicious movements for appropriate and prompt action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInformation is vital and these people committing crimes are not demons, they are within us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dSo, provide us (Immigration Service) with credible information about suspicious persons or movements so that we act appropriately and promptly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we get credible information about criminals, it will enable us to prevent them from causing havoc. Crime prevention is cheaper than fighting it,\u201d the CG said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The acting Comptroller-General (CG) of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Idris Jere, has said plans are underway to recruit additional 5,000 personnel into the service.
