Anambra State Government on Thursday said it has flagged off e-registration of foreigners in the state, which will enhance effective monitoring and control of foreigners.

The state Governor, Willie Obiano, who stated this at the state Command Headquarters of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) in Awka, said: "This will help all security agencies and institutions involved in migration management to monitor and coordinate their activities.’’

"This will help the government  to know those that are illegal migrants in the state and what they do, so as to help to fish out the criminals among them.’’

The governor, who was represented during the flag-off of the event by Secretary to State Government (SSG), Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, called on landlords/owners of premises that are accommodating migrants, like Hotels, Guest Houses, employers of expatriates, traditional rulers, market/traders associations, president-general of Town Unions and academic institutions with foreign students to ensure that such migrants comply with the provisions of immigration regulations.

Controller of Immigration, Anambra State Command, Mrs. Tochukwu Agwai, reminded that President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier in the year inaugurated the exercise in Abuja.

She said the robust data that would be generated from the exercise would be linked to the Interpol data base as part of an international collaboration recommended by the National Migration Policy.

This she said would also strengthen security, curb irregular migration and attendant challenges to the country.
