The Federal Government has concluded plans to install biometric clearance gates for the Nigeria Immigration Service at the international airports in the country which will be ready by March 2024.
The facilities will be installed at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Port Harcourt International Airport, and Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu.
The gates would provide seamless clearance services for passengers entering the country through any of the international airports.
Speaking during the inspection visit to the Abuja international airport on Monday, the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, said Lagos would get 17 gates, Abuja, 10; Port Harcourt and Kano would get five each, and Enugu would get four.
He added that the facilities would be a game changer for effective and efficient management of international passengers in the country.
