Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Kemi Nandap, has said no space will be given to any criminal minded travellers across the windows of the country.
Mrs Nandap gave the assurance in a statement by the service Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, on Wednesday in Abuja.
The CG extended hearty felicitations to all Muslim officers and men of the NIS, Nigerians and migrants residing in the country.
Mrs Nandap felicitated with President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubumi Tunji-Ojo, on the auspicious occasion.
She also commended 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 Nigerians to continually promote Godly virtues on a daily basis while affirming the NIS commitment to border security and management.
Mrs Nandap stated, “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.

Only properly documented and authorised migrants, who are capable of creating or adding value through legitimate engagements, are allowed a space to reside in the country.’’
