The acting Comptroller General of Immigration, Isah Jere Idris, has charged 548 newly commissioned personnel of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to improve their ICT skills to enable them to remain relevant in the unfolding realities in the Service.
According to the statement issued by NIS spokesman Amos Okpu, CG said this at the Passing out Parade (POP) ceremony of the cadets at the Immigration Training School in Kano on Tuesday.
“Our job is high-tech driven; we have highly sophisticated local and international publics to attend to and today’s dynamic world environment demands that personnel of the Service must be nothing but top-notched professionals who should regularly demonstrate uncommon expertise in the ICT controlled world environment,” Idris said.
Immigration boss also hailed the federal government for the enormous support to the Service’s eBorder project, stressing that the deployment of ICT solutions to complement border patrol efforts remains very critical to safe and secure border arrangements for the country.
