Security : Ag CG NIS Advocates Synergy Among Security Agecies

The Acting Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Caroline Wura-Ola Adepoju has called for sustained synergy among security agencies in border security and migration management to safeguard Nigeria’s territorial integrity.

Adepoju made this known when participants of the Advanced Security Management Course (ASMC) III of the National Institute for Security Studies paid a courtesy visit to the NIS Headquarters in Abuja.

She said the visit of the 27 participants not only ignited a sense of nostalgia but opened up her horizon to the big picture, hoping it has done the same for the participants.

The acting CG said a management training of security agencies at top level cannot be downplayed especially now that the country is faced with challenges of weapons smuggling, banditry and other vices that may undermine the nation’s security.

The Immigration boss stated that the Service is classified into two which is border security and migration management.

She stressed that a secure border is a secure nation adding that the success of the service is the success and progress of Nigeria.

She charged participants to justify the confidence reposed in them and advised them to allow the knowledge gained to cascade to their subordinates and spread.

Speaking on behalf of the participants, a Deputy Comptroller from the Nigeria Customs Service, Abubakar Dalhatu Zurumi said the institute had changed their perception and that the knowledge and experience they acquired would be put into good use.

The participants were taken on a tour of facilities at the Service Headquarters especially the Command and Control Centre in the Technology Building.
