On Thursday, Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano kick-started the electronic registration of foreigners in the state to make their stay legal

Governor Obiano kick-started the registration at the Nigeria Immigration Service, Anambra State Command in Awka Anambra state capital.

The governor said that the Migrants E-Registration would enhance effective monitoring and control of foreigners as well as provide a data base that can be harnessed by all security agencies and institutions involved in migration management, as provided by the National Migration Policy 2015

The Governor represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, said the programme was part of government efforts towards securing state’s territory. He said the exercise would ensure a closer check on all immigrants in the state to maintain peace and tranquility in the state. The Governor further stated that Identity management was very important for the safety of the nation, as it would help to check illegal immigrants and ensure that the rights of all the immigrants are protected. Speaking at the inauguration of the Migrant e-Registration exercise, the Comptroller, Nigeria Immigration Service, Anambra State Command, Mrs. Tochukwu Agwai, said that as an instrument for identification, the e-registration would ensure protection of migrants’ rights and serve as a source of information and intelligence for all security agencies, including the international police. According to her, apart from making Nigeria free of criminals, registration of foreigners will help in building database that would help the country in national planning.

The Comptroller said the government had given a six-month amnesty to all regular and irregular immigrants in the country, which would elapse early next year as the exercise would validate and their stay in the country.

Responding on behalf of the immigrants, Mr. Abubarkar Sanusi who is the Secretary of Niger Republic and the President, National Association of Ghanaian community in Nigeria, Anambra State Council Engineer John Forson, thanked the state for assisting and protect their members. He assured, that they would do their best in keeping with the lay down principles of the country. Recall the electronic registration of foreigners in Nigeria was inaugurated on July 12, 2019 by President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja where he declared a period of amnesty to all migrants to enable them present themselves for registration.

Abakaliki people should be the primary focus in this registration so that criminal activities in Anambra state can be reduced.

Jesus Christ is merciful.

Good question.
Why don't you ask like this for barawo bubu and Alliance of Past/Present Crooks, APC matters?

Ebonyi indigenes in particular must be captured in the e-registration. The way they hawk everywhere in the state is becoming an eyesore.

What is so difficult to understand in the phrase foreign nationals?

Their Governor no dey try. Infrastructure in state capital only.
No extensive development drive. No human capital development. No structure to help the average poor Ebonyi family get out of abject poverty.
If all these were in place, those Ebonyi people will leave Anambra and Delta State back to their own state.
If na to rub shoulders now, David Umahi will score first

The only e-Data Basê Nigeria is having is from SIM cards and BVN, this Anambra Gov. Have missed it! Why not the whole Anamberians Why foreigners only wish a software company can be hired to have all The Nigerian Data Basê, do we have softwares to search for facial recognition Incase of any criminality

mgbe obula, ana cho etu esi ebu ego.

says the son of a drug dealer who's dad was injected to death and organs used as practical by high school students in Vietnam.
Anambra people had been bringing shame to the south east with all their vices: Baby Factory, Drug Dealers of Nigeria, Killing of mother, father, brothers and sister for ritual, kidnapping of abokiis.......just name the crime and they're number one. You're here crying over abakaliki people who are legitimately doing their small business in Anambra, as if you won't find Anambra people in Ebonyi doing business. Fool that doesn't even know the meaning of foreigner
