The Nigeria Immigration Service and the Nigeria Correctional Service NCoS have each been awarded N500 million from the Abdul Samad Rabiu Initiative for Africa (ASR Africa) Security Sector Support Grant.
The monetary award is in recognition of the many successes recorded by the Services both nationally and internationally.
Service Spokesman, DCI Tony Akuneme disclosed this in a statement issued Friday in Abuja.
At a brief event at the NIS Headquarters in Abuja, Comptroller General of Immigration, Isah Jere Idris, while receiving the award letter, commended the Chairman, BUA Group, Alh. Abdul Samad Rabiu, for the initiative and for recognizing the strides of the Service.
He restated the Service’s commitment to Nigeria as well as the global security while assuring the delegation of ASR Africa that the grant will be effectively utilized.
In his response, the CGC applauded the initiative and promised to make judicious use of the grant as intervention to improve on the security of Custodial Centres by adding another layer of technological surveillance that will enhance the remote monitoring frameworks.
