The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, disclosed this through his official X account following his inspection tour of the installation work underway at the international airport in Abuja on Monday.
He said the E-gates facility will be implemented at all of Nigeria’s five international airports.
“Today (Monday), I took a tour of ongoing projects. First, the E-Gates facility is currently being installed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja”, he said.
Tunji-Ojo indicated that he evaluated the implementation of the E-border data and control centre at the Nigeria Immigration Service headquarters, targeting an enhancement of national security.
