\n

The Federal Government has tightened security at all the nation\u2019s borders ahead of the planned nationwide protests scheduled for August 1.<\/p>\n

The Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS, Kemi Nandap, said this in a statement issued by the Service Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, on Saturday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Nandap directed all Zonal Heads, State Command Comptrollers and Divisional Immigration Officers, DIOS, of the Service across the country to be extra vigilant.<\/p>\n

She said officers and men of the service should intensify surveillance given the planned protest by some groups.<\/p>\n

According to her, the directive was to ensure that foreign elements do not come into the country to participate in the protests.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn keeping with the responsibility of safeguarding the nation\u2019s gateways placed on the shoulders of the Service, officers, especially Heads of Border Commands, are tasked to rise to the occasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is by ensuring that no foreign element can take advantage of the protest to destabilize the country,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The NIS-CG directed temporary suspension of all leave applications and charged officers to exercise utmost professionalism and patriotism in the discharge of their duties.<\/p>\n

This, she said, should endure until after the protest, saying that \u201cNigeria is the only country we have as our own.<\/p>\n

Nandap assured all Nigerians of the Service\u2019s preparedness to safeguard the Nation\u2019s Borders towards enhanced national Security.<\/p>\n
