FG Introduces E-Gate Technology for Immigration

By   Milcah   Tanimu

The Federal Government plans to streamline Nigeria’s immigration process by introducing e-gate technology. This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize border management.

Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, announced this on Monday. He shared the news in a statement on his official Facebook page. During a presentation on the new integrated border management system, he emphasized the need for enhanced national security and smoother travel.

E-gate technology is an automated system aimed at simplifying the entry and exit processes at immigration checkpoints. The minister explained, “At the heart of this system is our e-gate facility, which automates vetting processes and reduces passengers’ wait times during their entry into the country.”

The government aims to create a secure, efficient, and traveller-friendly environment. This approach is expected to support Nigeria’s economic and social growth.

Tunji-Ojo added, “Our vision is to establish a modern, effective, and efficient immigration service, confidently manned by well-trained and motivated personnel.”

As the government implements this new system, the minister reassured Nigerians of President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s commitment to advancing border management. He emphasized the importance of addressing emerging challenges to strengthen national security.
