2025 E-VISA TRAINING; NIGERIA IMMIGRATION SERVICE

As part of our ongoing efforts to reform our visa policy framework and enhance migration processes, we have commenced an E-VISA training exercise for selected officers from across the country.

Today, We attended the formal opening ceremony at the Nigeria Immigration Service Headquarters in Sauka, where I charged officers to remain steadfast in discharging their duties as men in uniform.

This initiative reflects the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's commitment to ushering in a renewed methodology and model that aligns with our progressive force.

We believe that any system requiring lobbying for approvals is inefficient. Therefore, with our ease of doing business agenda, anyone who meets our standard conditions should get approval without delays or government bureaucracies.

His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR commissions the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Technology Innovation Complex (BATTIC) at the Nigeria Immigration Service Headquarters—a groundbreaking initiative designed to enhance Migration Management, Border Governance and National Security.

The Complex is a first-of-its-kind complex center in Africa that comprises of four different technological centers which is part of the administration’s drive to modernize digital innovation in transforming key Security Agencies.

The Command and Control Centre managed the API and Passenger Name Record (PNR) and the newly installed e-gates at the 5 international airports in the country. This centre will collate data from airlines and other transportation providers for storage, management and analysis to identify passengers with high risk to national security and report same immediately to relevant authorities. - ⁠

Nigeria Immigration Service Data Center - which is the central repository of data related to the activities of the Service will collate every data arising services exchange with the public and store them for easy reference to guide in planning and decision making.

The ECOWAS Biometric Card Production Centre- which is established for the production of standard and secured Biometric Cards for all ECOWAS citizens. This helps in preventing counterfeiting and frauds that are capable of endangering National Security.

Interior Data Centre
IDC is the frontline Centre which facilitates real-time monitoring and surveillance of border activities using advanced technologies such as CCTV, drones and sensors; coordinates communication as well as response teams in the event of Border security breaches for optimal success.

These Four (4) technology-based Centres are distinct but play interrelated roles that are tailored towards effective and efficient Migration management, Border Governance and, ultimately, National Security.
