Nigeria Immigration Service Flags Off “Catch Them Young” Sensitization Programme

On 15th June 2026, the Nigeria Immigration Service flagged off the “Catch Them Young” Sensitization Programme as part of efforts to educate secondary and tertiary institution students across all Area Councils of the Federal Capital Territory on the dangers of visa fraud, irregular migration, and deceptive travel schemes.

The four-day sensitization programme seeks to instill early awareness among young Nigerians on safe, orderly, and regular migration, while promoting responsible decision-making and an understanding of legitimate migration processes. Through interactive engagements and educational sessions, students are equipped with accurate information to help them identify fraudulent migration schemes and avoid practices that could expose them to exploitation.

Through this sensitization programme, the Nigeria Immigration Service continues to invest in the younger generation and strengthen public awareness on migration issues, while promoting safe, orderly, and regular migration practices across the country.

@tijani_tobitee @InquireAtNaija Hello,

You’d need to start the process first via our official dedicated url https://t.co/08DX9J3IpG

Follow all the instructions and make payments then download the NIS Mobile app to continue, also making biometrics payment via the app

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT EVACUATES 258 NIGERIANS FROM SOUTH AFRICA; NIS FACILITATES CLEARANCE FORMALITIES

The Nigeria Immigration Service, alongside other Federal Government agencies, on Thursday, 11 June 2026, received the first batch of 258 evacuated Nigerian voluntary returnees, including children, from South Africa under the Federal Government’s emergency evacuation initiative for distressed citizens abroad.

2. The returnees accompanied by four officials of Nigerian Mission in South Africa arrived aboard an Air Peace flight from Johannesburg, South Africa, at the Cargo Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, at approximately 10:23 a.m. Upon arrival, officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service facilitated the immigration clearance and afterwards handed the returnees to National Commission for Refugees, Migrant and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI) for further documentation.

3. The reception was led by the Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Bernard M. Doro, and the Honourable Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Amb. Sola Enikanolaiye, with the participation of key stakeholders including the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), and other relevant government agencies.

4. The orderly, dignified and seamless handling of the return and clearance process underscores the commitment of Nigeria Immigration Service to effective Migration Management, and in accordance with the principles of Citizen Diplomacy and the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

@NasTees_b @raphreal11 @joewizzi At what point did you both experience these issues

[Nigeria Immigration Service @nigimmigration]

We understand your concerns. Nigeria is a member of ICAO that regulates these things. Also bear in mind that the International Passport is a security document as well as a travel document.

The moment infractions are triggered by constant unsuccessful logins and biometrics, there are automatic actions that would immediately take effect for security reasons.

These features are also i in banking apps…upon unsuccessful logins, you would be requested to visit the nearest branch for physical confirmation and reset.

We hope this explanation helps
