Interior Minister Mr Olubunmi Tunji Ojo has advocated deploying technology-driven solutions to protect the borders.

Speaking at a Border Security Summit in London, the Minister stressed the significance of bilateral and multilateral agreements to enhance security frameworks, facilitate intelligence-sharing, and deploy advanced border management systems.

“The fight against organised immigration crime is not one that any country can handle alone. It requires collaboration, intelligence-sharing, and the deployment of innovative security technologies to safeguard our borders,” he said.

The summit offered a platform for international collaboration on migration policies, security threats, and strategies to combat illegal immigration activities.

Tunji-Ojo’s participation at the summit underlined the nation’s commitment to strengthening its immigration policies and working with global partners to tackle transnational crimes namely, human trafficking, smuggling, and document fraud.

The event brought together over 30 global leaders, including UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, to discuss critical issues surrounding border control and Organised Immigration Crime (OIC).
