Nonsense - Mr Usman, in a chat with newsmen at the airport, stated that most of the visas were issued to foreigners coming into the country to invest in the economy, thereby creating jobs for citizens.

Please dont just say it, how about you back it up with data. cos we cant see the jobs.

Comptroller of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) in charge of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Mr Abdullahi Usman, has disclosed that not less than 58,000 visas have been issued to foreigners at the airport located in the Ikeja area of Lagos State.

Mr Usman, in a chat with newsmen at the airport, stated that most of the visas were issued to foreigners coming into the country to invest in the economy, thereby creating jobs for citizens.

According to him, these visas were given to these foreigners on arrival into Nigeria through the MMIA from January 2019 to Thursday, December 5, 2019.

The comptroller noted that the visa-on-arrival procedure was targeted at investors coming into the country, which is Africa’s largest economy, to do business as part of the Ease of Doing Business policy of the federal government.

“We have upgraded our visa on arrival from email-based to web-based to improve our services. Applicants can now log into the website and fill in their details and also get their approvals directly from there instead of using a third party which was what we were doing before because they have to send a representative here to process it.

“So, the increase in the issuance is to ease procedure and encourage more investors to come into the country to invest,” the immigration officer told journalists when he received officials of Access Bank at the airport.

He further said the airport was now operating better than in the past, stating that the new Migration Information and Data Analysis System (MIDAS) has been installed at the airport.

According to him, this equipment has enabled immigration and border officials to process travellers more rapidly and professionally and as well make their border-crossing experience safer and more humane.

Mr Usman said this led to officials of the agency to stop about 150 Nigerians from travelling out of the country in the last four months in the fight against human trafficking.

You can be very sure that a considerable number of those "foriegn investors" are arms dealers.
Nigeria is frighteningly at the core of being a failed states; and we know from history, that it attracts arms dealers and sales from unscrupulous elements, Western nations.

@Topic, Good one from the Immigration service.
This is the CHANGE we want in our country.




It is good reading that investors are coming back into our country to invest after they all left for neighbouring countries during the years of looting.

Most aren't doing anything as sophisticated as selling arms. Just petty nonsense.

Danger. 58,000 Jihadi foreign fighters could have been brought into Nigeria in just 6 months.

Visa on arrival is taken to a most disproportionate level here.

The black market for small arms in failed states is often very high and busy.
They'll sit down in their offices in Manhattan, Berlin, London and start to make the contacts.
And then "enter" the market.
Nigeria will not be any different.

This is a very stupid idea. No country makes it’s borders this porous without extensive checks. What measures have been put in place to ensure that these are investors as opposed to foreign workers who come to take jobs that Nigerians do not even have? Also our immigration will abuse this by taking bribes and letting anyone in as long as they can pay. Who came up with this dumb idea? We are fighting so many problems already. Opening the airport to business visa may just mean we are importing ISIS escapees by the 1000’s. They have money too.
