Abiodun OBA     |

In compliance with the six months amnesty given by President Muhammadu Buhari for migrants in Nigeria, Bayelsa State Command of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has flagged off the e-registration exercise for immigrants in the state.

In a statement issued by the Service Public Relations Officer (SPRO), Mr. Sunday James, on Friday in Abuja, the Comptroller General NIS, Mr. Muhammad Babandede urged officers and men of the command to take advantage of the exercise to capture the migrants residing in Bayelsa.

He warned the officers and men against any bottleneck that may jeopardize the exercise, adding that the Migrant e-registration exercise was free and they should actualize the essence of the programme.

He, however, encouraged the migrants to turn out in their numbers for the exercise.

The event took place and was coordinated by the State Command Comptroller, Mr. Felix Odika in Yenegoa.
