The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has concluded plans to tighten the security of all marine borders across the country.
The Acting Comptroller General of the Service, Mrs Caroline Adepoju, made this known to newsmen in Uyo on Saturday after her two-day familiarisation visit to the NIS, Akwa Ibom Command.
Adepoju said that the Akwa Ibom command had the longest coastal borders that must not be left porous to avoid nefarious activities within the maritime environment.
She said that since the Federal Government had tightened air and land borders across the country, marine borders would not be left porous.
Adepoju said that the government is determined to provide the necessary logistics to secure the blue borders.
She also assured officers and men of the command that the government would continue to attach great importance to their welfare.
She charged the personnel to be dedicated and committed to their duties as hard work would be rewarded.
