Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri says porous international borders have worsened insecurity in the state.<\/p>\n

The governor said this while receiving the new State Controller of the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, Mohammed Adamu, who paid him a courtesy call on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He urged NIS to deploy technology to secure the international borders around Adamawa State to curtail rising security challenges.<\/p>\n

Fintiri, who pointed out that Adamawa has nine local government areas bordering Cameroon, stressed that urgent and effective measures are necessary to properly secure the extensive borders.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the elements of security breaches come from the porous borders,\u201d the governor said, adding that a huge number of criminals operating in the state are foreigners.<\/p>\n

He expressed gladness with reforms in the issuance of international passports by the NIS but urged the Service to ensure that non-Nigerians are not registered.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdamawa has many foreigners who share many things in common with indigenes,\u201d Fintiri said.<\/p>\n

Earlier in his remarks, the new NIS state comptroller said the various border entry points would be tightened to enhance security.<\/p>\n
