Nigeria Had Records of Only 40,000 Expatriates When We Took Over, Tunji-Ojo Says

Nigeria’s Interior Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, said official records listed only about 40,000 expatriates working in the country when he took office nearly three years ago. He described the Centralised Interior Management and Administration System as a way to combine data from several services and end multiple identities, including people holding duplicate passports. Nigeria Immigration Service Comptroller General Kemi Nanna Nandap said the Border Management Information System contains more than 15 million migration records and set five standards for officers: accuracy, integrity, judgment, readiness and accountability.
