Federal Government's E-Border Project Fails to Stop Bandits and Illegal Aliens in Nigeria.

A $90 million Nigerian government border project aimed at stopping bandits, terrorists, and illegal aliens has failed to achieve its objective. Despite the investment, these groups continue to cross into Nigeria unchecked.

The Federal Government's multi-billion-naira border surveillance system launched in 2019 has failed to stem the tide of illegal migrants, including bandits, terrorists, and kidnappers, who continue to cross into the country. Despite the investment of nearly $100 million, the project appears to have been ineffective in preventing these illicit crossings. According to reports, many of those intercepted at the border have been identified as individuals with links to criminal activities, highlighting a significant gap between the government's security measures and the actual threat posed by cross-border migrants. The failure of this initiative raises concerns about the effectiveness of the government's border management strategy.
