The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has said the initiated e-border surveillance system has been effective for border security.

This initiative, launched on December 14, 2024, at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Technology Innovation Complex, aims to combat irregular migration and enhance border security.

In a statement made available to Sunday PUNCH, the minister stated that the technology recorded significant progress since its deployment.

Tunji-Ojo added that one of the most remarkable outcomes of the e-border system was its role in identifying and capturing persons of interest

He also mentioned that the integration of INTERPOL data and other national security databases had significantly enhanced the ability to detect and respond to threats at our borders

Within a few weeks of the operation, the minister said the system successfully flagged and detained individuals with criminal records or suspicious activities.

The statement partly read, “Since its roll-out, the e-border surveillance system has proven highly effective in curbing illegal migration, one of Nigeria’s longstanding border security challenges.

The project employs cutting-edge automation and monitoring tools, enabling real-time surveillance across Nigeria’s extensive 4,447 kilometres of land, air, and sea borders.

“The Nigeria Immigration Service, which operates the system, has deployed advanced e-border solutions to over 80 crossing points nationwide. These solutions integrate data from INTERPOL and Nigerian security agencies, allowing seamless identification and interception of persons of interest.”

24/7 realtime surveillance is a great development. INTERPOL also commended the system for capturing 10 persons of interest in less than one week of operation.

We are advancing seriously through the Minister of interior. These are what should be but thanks to Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo for advancing Nigeria. Our borders are now fully technology integrated.

All the reformation and rebuilding Olubumi Tunji Ojo has been doing in this country under this administration will never be forgotten forever.
All thanks to President Bola Ahmed Tiunbu for making it possible for Tunji Ojo to be able to achieved all this.

I know that with that kind of initiative there is good to be a big changes.

This is a great development. Kudos to the HM

True

Uncle Tunji-Ojo has actually been exceptional as a minister of interior

You don't need to know it all, just pay attention to what are needed to be done

The attached screenshot of the game below, Differences, if you are the type who don't pay attention, you will struggle to progress to the next stage.

See workings! Thank you President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing a reliable minister we can count on.

It's a good development, technology will help in securing our borders

Chadians and Nigeriens still find their ways into Nigeria through the north anytime they like.
Seems the e-boarder surveillance system is not operating in the north.

Great development coming again. Thanks Hon Minister Sir.

With technology, we will be able to tackle the issue of insecurities within our borders. This is a good development

Small time dem go use am the monitor their girlfriends and enemies.

No be Nigeria again?

Technology has made has things easy it's a good thing that Nigeria is employing technology in tackling security challenges

After I saw the INTERPOL post just 10 days after the e-boarder launch, I knew the government was up to something. Kudos to the minister of interior and the Nigerian immigration

With the 24/7 surveillance, insecurities will be curtailed and it will reduce drastically

Our border security had never been better than until now. Olubunmi Tunji- Ojo leadership effort can not be taken for little justifying he is a worthy catch for the President's renewed hope agenda.

The message is clear with the e-border surveillance system. When you coming in or going out of the country. No exhibit and don't be the exhibit.

We bless God for everything. Long shall it continue

Bunch of fools who tend to borrow phrases to look human.

Ok hope we can start building walls and denying indians visa into our country.

How about internal security?

Have CCTV on every street

We await how it will help in curbing or eradicating totally boko boys, iswap, and their likes in 5 years time.

Government for itself, by itself, on itself. Nothing for the people. We keep watching

Oba Akinyemi said, “The N9bn e-border control system project is a white elephant project just like the botched Nigeria Airways” under the same government of President Buhari.

He expressed doubts about the existence of any e-border control system along the land border with neighbouring Benin Republic.


Government of lies

I thought the primary function of a Minister of Interior was to announce public holidays, national broadcast and ransom for escaped prisoners. I never knew that they had primal functions until this Minister came.

Aregbesola and Jimi Disu Should cover their faces in shame. Jimi sees no good whatsoever in anything that this government is doing. Absolutely zero appreciation.

Better

Is this not only for INTERPOL 's people of interest? .... employed at 70 ports of entry ... is it only at these points people can enter and leave the country? They over hype is wayyy too much .

Oga Tunji, the problem is not technology but ur officers who are behind the technology, they would render it ineffective for them to be able to continue getting their illegal kobokobo at the expense of Nigerians.

NOT UNTIL YOU MAKE ONE OR TWO OF YOUR OFFICERS AS SCAPE GOAT, THEY WONT ALLOW YOU TO CARRY OUT YOUR REFORM SUCCESSFULLY.

Hope e dey notice northerners crossing the border and not only southerners 😁

Wonderful
