The Federal Government has announced plans to take strict action
against irregular migrants in the country starting 1 August, 2025.
To allow for compliance, a three-month grace period will be granted
from 1 May to 1 August, during which the new Expatriate
Administration System will be implemented before enforcement
begins.
Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, disclosed this on
Tuesday in Abuja during a meeting with the Nigerian Employers'
Consultative Association. He explained that an immigration amnesty
program will run for three months to help migrants regularize their
status.
Key Highlights:
- Companies obstructing the Nigeria Immigration Service from
performing its duties will face strict penalties.
