31,556 foreigners denied entry into Nigeria

The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has denied 31,556 foreigners entry into the country between January and May 2012.

According to the Public Relations Officer of NIS, Mr Joachim Olumba, the service refused the foreigners visas following a federal government order on closure of the nation’s borders.

President Goodluck Jonathan had ordered the closure of some of the country’s borders on December 31, 20111, when he declared a state of emergency in some local government areas in Northern Nigeria.Olumba said 5,603 illegal immigrants were also repatriated from the country during the period under review, adding that discussions were on between the immigration service and other relevant agencies to remove settlement areas around the country’s borders.

“The aim is to build new communities for settlement so as to give the people a sense of belonging as their relocation is important to resolving the current security challenges in the country,” Olumba said.

No it's not good news, it's bad news. Dumb ass! Everything that govt does is bad news for you. This is how u guys have been junketing from one thread to another seeking to destroy any achievement by govt. such a good measure intended to make sure our borders are not porous is what you seek to crticise. You are an ingrate.

why do u look down on ur country? So u r telling us that nigeria is not good enough for pple to want to visit?. Have u sat down to ask urslf what these large amount of pple coming to do here? Obviously u re too blind to see what they saw in the 1st place. They saw something good in the country which you re too myopic to see instead u sit down there ranting like rabies infested dog. I pity u. Make u dey run ur mouth as u like

Re: 31,556 Foreigners Denied Entry Into Nigeria by prologue: 3:12pm On Jun 28, 2012
31556 foreigners indeed. hear talk. A country dt cannot say the amount of petrol used in a day. A ship can vanish into thin air and airplane can get lost in a bush is giving details to numbers of people denied entry. okay.. what about the number of trailers stealing oil across border? how many inmates are there in our prisons? what percentage of our population belongs to the aged? wait a minute, what identification do we even have to show as a Nigerian? Abeg, meat wen I facrook 4 hotel dollar hang 4 my teeth. king jona, thanks for lifting d ban on toothpick
