Nigeria, EU Mull Collaboration on Security, Defence

The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, said the Ministry of Interior is taking a multi-faceted approach to maintain internal security in Nigeria, with a focus on identity management, border security, visa processing and document authentication.

He added that the Ministry is decentralizing the identity management process to make it more accessible and efficient, especially for people in rural areas.

Dr. Tunji-Ojo, further remarked that in terms of border security, the Ministry has made significant progress in covering 60% of the land border with its e-border solution and is working on automating the remaining .

The Minister also revealed that the Ministry is introducing an e-visa system to make visa processing more seamless and user-friendly, especially for short-stay visitors.

He also stated that the Ministry is developing a Centralized Citizens Integrity and Document Authentication System (CCIDAS), to provide a single platform for verifying documents from Nigeria, assuring that this will help combat document fraud and make it easier for foreign nations to authenticate documents from Nigeria.

Earlier in his remarks, the Head of the EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Ambassador Gautier Mignot, emphasized on the need for Nigeria and EU to Strengthen Partnership for a brighter future, with a focus on enhancing cooperation in key areas, such as peace, security, and defence, as well as migration.

“The EU recognizes the immense potential of Nigeria and is eager to build on the existing relationship to create a more comprehensive and mutually beneficial partnership,” Ambassador Mignot said.

Key areas of cooperation are peace, security, and defence. The EU and Nigeria are to work together to enhance peace and security in the region, with a focus on building a stronger and more resilient partnership.
