Nigeria Immigration Service and Journalists Enhance Security Partnership

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Ogun state command, and the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Ogun state have pledged to strengthen their partnership to enhance national security and public awareness. This commitment was made during a courtesy visit by the executive members of the Correspondents’ Chapel to the NIS headquarters in Abeokuta.

Comptroller of Immigration, Ogun state Command, Ganiyu Oladele Olubunmi, emphasized the importance of media in effective service delivery by security agencies, stating that the NIS cannot fulfill its operational mandates without the media's support. He described the NIS and the media as essential partners in progress, highlighting the media's role in communicating anti-crime initiatives and public sensitization against migration issues.

Olubunmi acknowledged that public awareness campaigns against human trafficking and unlawful migration would be ineffective without media collaboration. Comrade Yetunde Fatungase, Chairman of the Correspondents’ Chapel, praised the NIS for its critical role in national security and migration regulation.
