Nandap also felicitated with President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubumi Tunji-Ojo, on the occasion of the Sallah celebration.

The minister also commended all Muslims who, through shared commitment and dedication, took time out to fast and pray for the security, unity and welfare of the country.

She charged all Nigerians to continually promote Godly virtues on a daily basis while affirming the agency’s commitment to border security and management.

“I believe in a better Nigeria and I am assuring the nation of the NIS’ renewed determination to make the nation’s borders safe and protected.

“No space will be given to any criminally minded traveler across our windows.

“Only properly documented and authorized migrants, who are capable of creating or adding value through legitimate engagements, are allowed a space to reside in the country,” she said.

Nandap called for enhanced synergy among security agencies, saying that “by working together, we can fortify the foundations of national defense, security and development”.
