Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Federal Government says 828 illegal immigrants were deported in 2024 as part of efforts to combat irregular migration and enhance national security.

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Olu, disclosed this at a media parley in Abuja on Tuesday.

Highlighting the government’s achievements, the minister stated, “In the last one year, 137 victims of trafficking were intercepted, and in 2024 alone, 828 foreigners were repatriated by the Nigerian Immigration Service.”

As part of broader reforms, the government implemented measures to modernise border operations and immigration systems.

These include integrating Nigerian passports into the International Civil Aviation Organisation Public Key Directory, allowing seamless verification worldwide, and establishing a centralised Visa Approval Centre in Abuja to streamline visa processing.

The minister noted that the NIS also cleared a backlog of ” Over 200,000 passport applications within three weeks in 2023 and issued 1,836,533 passports in 2024.”

He also said the centralised passport personalization process will begin with 21 African Countries on the 3rd of February, 2025. (vitalnewsngr.com)
