A statement by the NIS spokesperson, Amos Okpu , explained  that the observatory report sought to unravel  the dynamics of smuggling of migrants through and to Nigeria between 2019 and 2021.

Declaring the event open in Abuja, NIS comptroller-general, Isah Jere Idris assured of the service’s commitment to contain the menace of migrants smuggling, stressing that having fully domesticated the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air in the Immigration Act 2015 (Sections 65-98), the service is statutorily empowered with the necessary legal instrument to prosecute smugglers of migrants.

He thanked the Canadian government and other development partners for their impactful interventions in the fight against smuggling of migrants and other cross-border criminal activities.

The NIS boss reiterated the continuous commitment of the service to collaborate with critical stakeholders in efforts aimed at achieving orderly, humane and responsive migration.
