Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Government has assured that irregular migration and illegal transnational activities across Nigeria\u2019s international borders are being checked.<\/p>\n

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Shaibu Belgore, gave the assurance in Lagos on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He addressed the 3rd International Security Management Course at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA).<\/p>\n

Belgore said his ministry, through the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), has evolved new ways to improve border control, management, monitoring and protection.<\/p>\n

The official said such innovations would confront 21st century evolving challenges that continued to pose threat to Nigeria\u2019s internal security.<\/p>\n

Belgore noted that transnational crimes were of global significance due to globalisation and increasing travel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been an increase in irregular migration, trafficking of persons, smuggling of migrants, financial crimes, drug related offences, transportation of illegal weapons, among others\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The permanent secretary decried how illicit movement of arms and persons through entry points worsened the nation\u2019s insecurity.<\/p>\n

Belgore said collaboration between the government, NIS, Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and stakeholders would strengthen border security.<\/p>\n
