Reps Want Nigeria Fenced

The House of Representatives has proposed the construction of a perimeter fence with sensors and cameras to check illegal influx of foreigners into the country.

The house at its proceedings on Thursday, directed its Committee on Immigration to work with the Ministry of Interior and Immigration service for the construction of the border fence.

The motion which was moved by Hassan Saleh, was unanimously adopted following the spate of insecurity in some parts of the country.

The motion also proposed better working conditions for those posted to the nation’s borders.

The lawmakers are particularly concerned about the influx of foreigners through the nation’s borders and they resolved that urgent steps must be taken to check this trend.

Meanwhile, a bill for an act to amend the 2013 Appropriation Act to authorise the release of N4.9trillion from the consolidated revenue fund was put on hold.

The Speaker of the house, Aminu Tambuwal suggested that appropriate steps must be taken by the budget office so that the 2013 supplementary budget is not affected.

Another matter which came up for discussion by the lawmakers is the need to curtail the activities of piracy on the nation’s water ways.

The house mandated the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) as well as other health agencies to provide relief materials for survivors of tanker collusion in Mokwa, Niger state

The "Great Wall Of Nigeria" would be a success if the Immigration officials do their jobs diligently, without inducement.

smh for our parliamentarians, i think someone needs to be recall from the house

Secure our borders Patrol, satelite surveillance, hidden cctvs. Ground radar systems can help a lot. No more islamic almajiris from our north western borders. Fencing is outdated and expensive.

am sorry i think you hapend to be the illitrate here cause even the USA has something similar to this in their border with mexico..the fence is just for security
if isreal had not fence their border with Gaza sucide bombers could have leveled them by now...nigeria borders are just to open, fencing them will help alot.
So the move is a good one causa most of this boroharam jihadist are not nigerians.

Ok....barbed wire fencing or Block fencing or wooden fencing or like the wall of jericho...stones.

These people and their very silly debates!

Another agenda to loot the country.

Dont port your ignorance unto this thread
America with all its grandstanding on terrorism partially fenced the most vulnerable parts of states bordering Mexico and spiced it with regular border patrols
Israel's fence has a greater political undertone than security issues
With all the billions we spend on the National Assembly and troubles ailing Nigeria,this is the quality of legidlative debates we churn out
Pathetic!
Let us go ahead only with this fence thing if we seek to create our own North Korea
And with our irrational Nigerian way of doing things upside down against known norms and establised standards,we might need that fence to keep the rest of the world safe from we Nigerians

issokay

Its a welcome idea...if it can be done like the United State in some areas especially areas vulnerable to us and efficiently policed but NOT by the present crop of Police we have... boysbrigade,civil defense or even girls scout as long as its not the present Nigerian Police i know.

fence? damn!

I think its a good thing, let people coming into Nigeria come through a gate, our boarders are like open fields, anyone can walk in with anything.

Sound as Comedy, but a welcome development

another avenue to siphon our money!

u cnt please nigerians.... If government decides to leave the border the way it is... Nigerians will complain that the border is too porous... Now they have decided to do something yet they'r still complaining that its avenue to loot.... Omo naija nawa

Not a bad idea... They should finance it from their salary and bogus allowances.

To me, it's good.
Let us have the great wall of Nigeria.

emilyone: another avenue to siphon our money!

they dnt need jamboree fence to siphon ur money

. But they are protecting you.

I wonder where this so called politician got this stupid ideals from ? Well its good atleast someone ώĩℓℓ be a millionaire through there stupid ideal, all I need to do is just to tell mz friends that aя̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ coming to nigeria to knock at the gate so as to come Äπϑ open the gate for them cos I'm sure na gate them go put.

And exactly where is this fence construction money going to come from? Democracy for the people, by the people. When did "the people" ever ask for a fence?

Call it the United States of Africa (The United States of America has considered a fence and deemed it useless and wasteful but Nigeria, we don't care, where there's an idea, there's also a money contract waiting to be awarded!)

As if people are dying to enter Nigeria in multitudes to the degree that fences are needed. If anything, the fences will be preventing those Nigerians who are sick and tired of all the old men at the top, who've been in power since Independence, from leaving Nigeria in search of anything else.

Na YANSH all these Men take dey Reason sef??

Bricklayers and labourers go hammer be dat lol

Omo atleast enoooouuuuugggghhhh jab for bricklayers and labourers...later una go dey say government no dey create jabs for the teeming unemployed populace...

But come oh, na 4", 5", 6" or 9" block dem wan take build the fence?
