Nigeria tightens security at borders ahead of #EndBadGovernance protests

The Federal Government has tightened security at the nation’s borders ahead of the planned nationwide protests slated for August 1.
The Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Kemi Nandap, stated this in a statement issued by the Service Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, on Saturday in Abuja.
She directed the immigration’s Zonal Heads, State Command Comptrollers, and Divisional Immigration Officers across the country to be extra vigilant and intensify surveillance because of the planned protests.
The CG stressed that the directive was to ensure that foreign elements do not participate in the protests.
A group of Nigerians had called a nationwide protest tagged: “EndBadGovernance to express their displeasure over the economic hardship and other problems plaguing the land.
Nandap said: “In keeping with the responsibility of safeguarding the nation’s gateways placed on the shoulders of the Service, officers especially Heads of Border Commands, are tasked to rise to the occasion.
“This is by ensuring that no foreign element can take advantage of the protest to destabilize the country.”
