President Bola Tinubu has extended the olive branch to his political opponents and everyone not on the same page with him to join in as the government strives for peace, unity, and development of the country, saying even though people may have different political inclinations, Nigerians are one.
The president spoke when he commissioned the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Technology Innovation Complex, BATTIC, at the headquarters of the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS in Sauka, Abuja on Tuesday.
Tinubu added that Nigerians are all occupants of one building who are only living in different rooms.
President Tinubu arrived the Nigeria Immigration Service headquarters in Abuja to unveil BATTIC at about 12:08 pm.
He was received by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, and the Comptroller-General of Immigration, Kemi Nandap.
BATTIC comprises the Command and Control Centre (regular migration), NIS Data Centre, ECOWAS Biometric Card Production Centre, Interior Data Centre and a 0.5KW solar power plant.
According to Nandap, BATTIC will ascertain the risk level of persons entering the country, detect irregular migration patterns and monitor unmanned borders in remote areas across the country.
She added that BATTIC is “setting the benchmark to use technology to secure our borders and ensure the security of the nation.”
