NIS DEPORTS 61 FOREIGNERS OVER IRREGULAR MIGRATION
The Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS, has said that no fewer than 61 foreign nationals were deported by from the country in August 2024.
This is because the new visa policy facilitated a total of 8,352 Visas on Arrival for travellers in the month under review.
The figures were contained in a report by the service detailing the NIS achievements for August.
According to the report, the reason for deporting the foreign nationals was to address the issue of irregular migration in the country.
The report partly read, “The NIS eased out 61 foreign nationals to address irregular migration. The new Visa Policy facilitated 8,352 Visas on Arrival.”
This is, however, not the first time the immigration would be deporting foreign nationals from the country. Between 2020 and 2022 no fewer than 70 foreign nationals were deported from the country.
