Nigeria’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved N52billion to monitor the country’s borders.

Speaking to pressmen after a meeting in Abuja on Thursday, Abdulrahman Dambazau, Minister of Interior, said the contract would cover 86 border posts and all the 1,400 illegal routes being used for smuggling and other crimes.

He said the pilot system has already been installed at two border posts, disclosing that the information would be available real-time, 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

Dambazau said: “Council approved N52billion for e-border solution. This process started in 2012, but we picked it up to move forward when we came in. The project is to be completed within the next two years.

“There is a pilot project already which has been very successful; it was installed to monitor two borders.

“This project is going to cover 86 border posts in the country. We will be able to also monitor 1,400 illegal routes that are used for smuggling and all kinds of cross border criminal activities.

“The Nigeria Immigration Service will work very closely with other services; when it comes to response, with the Air Force and the Army units deployed near the borders; with the Customs in terms of smuggling. The information will be available real-time 24/7."

This is one of the best decisions by the terrorist government . I hope his brothers from Chad and Niger will be the ones affected the most .

okay we go still wait 2 more years before dem go complete am I just pray d illegal immigrants wey dey terrorize d North neva kill dem finish before 2years

Breathe of fresh air. At least a good news is coming from this government. I just hope they'll maintain the systems and equipment. Even though we know that the dubious ones are still gonna manipulate it to their own advantage, at least it's a step in the right direction.

I'm not a critic. Let's see how this goes.

But first, who are those that do the smuggling? Is it the politicians? Senators/Reps? Or ordinary Nigerians?

Money gone.... If you know you know

So long as greed, corruption still exist in Nigeria our borders go dey as porous as an overly dumb christain's purse
