Hon. Minister, is it possible to the border without human ? Because those shameless immigration forcefully collect money to stamp your port to go out and even enter your own country.

In fact, all the agencies at the border collect money from Nigerians and even Africans.

Is it also possible to rearrange the clearance of containers at the ports and borders? Because the agent use this opportunity to exploit importers which results to inflation.

They will never allow you to know the real fee of the shipping company, terminal and custom clearance because importers are not allowed to generate the invoice by themselves except through the agent.

I will advise that it be mandated that invoice must be sent to owners directly through email and owners should pay directly into the government with the name the importer used to import into Nigeria.

That will reduce inflation because some agent with the collaboration of customs wants to make between 1.5m - 2m naira on importation of just one car alone besides others fees.

The owners of these cars wouldn't want to loose money hence add the agent 2m, other fees and his own profits on the vehicle making it extremely expensive. This is where inflation is also coming from.

Owners must be involved in direct payment of imported goods. Asg this to agent tantamount to being exploited.

Hon minister of Interior, you can do it, sir.

forgiveness:

Then Stay in what the caption says . The policy for immigration officers at the borders is under way. So calm down.

One of the reasons I love Tinubu is because people he employs always perform. I know his ministers will do well.

I hope you are alright, some is highlighting where the minister can score quick n efficient point without doing too much you are here telling the perosn to keep quiet.

Have you ever imported anything into Nigeria before ? If the minister can eliminate those agent charging fee for running a scam that should never be at the port price of goods at the port will fall, bribery will be reduced if not eliminated n we will have a beta run n efficient port.

I just don't understand why this minister is always found at immigration office while there are other para-military agencies such as Civil Defence, Fire Service etc under his ministry.
This portrays him as having a particular interest in immigration which many believed was the reason for retention of the current CG who has retired from service since may 2023.
Let the minister also exert the same energy on NSCDC, fire service and of staff of his ministry.
Minister should sit in his office and work and not roaming around immigration offices!

bros,they tried this before when jonathan was still president....the service was very bad....

Let me tell you why this might likely not work out

You see the level of corruption in Nigeria is deeper than hades abode. These immigration officers will find a way to frustrate this online process in a such a way that you won’t have option but to go their offices to either finish the process or pick your port up, and avenue for them to take bribe as usual


When I applied for mine in 2021, someone who works in the immigration told me to ditch the online portal and go to their office because if they know you applied online they will give you stories and excuses how your own is still delayed, they will frustrate you so much you won’t have any other option than wait for several months or bribe them to fasten the process for you

Mine came out within a week, meanwhile a colleague that had applied in Lagos office for the past three months hadn’t gotten his, that was the period there was a claim no paper or what ever to print the ports

If this automation option must work, a lot of corrupt people must be removed from the immigration, then adequate infrastructure provide to the portal, because Nigeria is notoriously for having network downtime or failure when it comes to online application and registration. Jamb is a good example, year in year out they always encounter server downtime at critical times
