Plans are at advanced stage by the Federal Government to equip the 84 border locations in Nigeria with e-border monitoring cameras to check issues of illegal immigrants and other border criminal activities. Isah said the implementation of the e-border monitoring would kick-start from second quarter of 2022. According to him, when the operations commence, monitoring of borders across the country would be real-time online, using Information and Communications Technology (ICT) system. “If they have connected Ibaka to our communications centre, you can see what we are doing here, realtime online. I assure you by second quarter of this year the implementation will start,” Idris said.
