No fewer than 61 foreign nationals were deported by the Nigerian Immigration Service from the country in August 2024.
This follows the new visa policy that facilitated a total of 8,352 Vivas on arrival for travellers under the month of review.
The figures were contained in a report by the service detailing the NIS achievements for August.
According to the report in part: “The NIS eased out 61 foreign nationals to address irregular migration. The new Visa Policy facilitated 8,352 Visas on Arrival.”
This is, however, not the first time the immigration would be deporting foreign nationals from the country. Between 2020 and 2022 no fewer than 70 foreign nationals were deported from the country.
