The Federal Government has pledged to implement measures aimed at halting the influx of illegal immigrants into the country in order to enhance national security.

According to a statement released by the Ministry’s Director of Press, Afonja Ajibola, Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo emphasized the necessity to end the era of allowing foreigners to easily enter the country using counterfeit travel documents.

This declaration was made during a visit by Dasuki Arabi, the Director of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, as disclosed in the statement on Saturday.
