The Nigerian Federal Government has started installing the E-Gates facility at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, announced this on his official X account after inspecting the installation work at the airport on Monday.
He mentioned that the E-Gates will be set up at all five international airports in Nigeria.
“Today (Monday), I took a tour of ongoing projects. First, the E-Gates facility is currently being installed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja,” he said.
Tunji-Ojo also mentioned that he reviewed the progress of the E-border data and control center at the Nigeria Immigration Service headquarters to improve national security.
It is worth noting that the Minister had previously announced plans to implement E-Gates in the country’s international airports by February 2024.
