“He explained that the organization’s core function is to properly maintain the Country’s Five Hundred and Thirty-Three Thousand (5330) kilometer border which it shares with the Atlantic Coast, Benin Republic, Chad, Niger and Cameroon. According to the him, Nigeria’s borders stretch through an expanse of land and sea that were too wide to be policed only by human Personnel hence the need to also rely on technology like is done elsewhere in the world.

“The Acting Controller-General disclosed that currently, the Service deploys modern technology in many of its operations including Passport Application and Issuance as well as records and document management through an Electronic Documents Management System (EDMS) which is a paperless mode of treating official files and documents.

“DIG Jere said NIS harvests a lot of data through its operations and therefore requires an efficient electronic platform for sharing such data with other sister agencies. He thanked the University of Jos Management team for the visit and sought partnership with the University towards helping the Service achieve some of its aims and objectives.Earlier, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Jos, Professor Tanko Ishaya congratulated the NIS Acting Controller-General, Idris Isa Jere over his appointment and commended him for leading the charge towards making the Service an ICT friendly organization.

“The Vice-Chancellor who is a Professor of Computer Science, noted the great progress that the NIS is making towards discharging its mandate but observed that there were still some challenges that must be overcome to achieve the desired level of efficiency.

Professor Tanko called for closer collaboration between the NIS and the Country’s citadels of learning to enable the Service utilize the knowledge and expertise that are reposited in the Nigerian University system. He believes that sharing the knowledge, ideas and products of experts and researchers in the field would serve the Country better and help the NIS achieve its Vision and Mission.”
