The CGI charged them to be dedicated to duty and underscored the significance of border security stating that, Nigeria’s current realities require extra layers of security at the borders to prevent infiltration by criminal elements that could fuel crises in the country.
Nandap instructed that henceforth, Comptrollers are to employ supervisory strategies, ensure timely report of major movements (entries and exits) and, professionally, handle sensitive intelligence requiring urgent attention with recommendations for enhanced border monitoring.
The statement added that: “These reports are to be submitted weekly through approved administrative channels.”
According to the statement, the CGI directed the “immediate submission of both Manpower and Logistics audit; and tasked Commanders on the need for a robust Inter-Agency collaboration for effective intelligence sharing.
The statement further read that: “Furthermore, she ordered the removal of unauthorised checkpoints and conduct routine patrols to completely forestall dangerous and unauthorized elements from entering the country.”
“The meeting provided the Service with ample opportunity to assess situations at the borders to gain useful insights that will guide policy and operational strategies towards enhanced National Security.
“The Comptroller General reiterated the Services commitment to the deployment of e-solutions, training and the welfare of officers in the field.”
