In August 2024, the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) deported 61 foreign nationals as part of its efforts to combat irregular migration. The deportations follow the implementation of a new visa policy, which issued 8,352 Visas on Arrival during the same period. This move continues a pattern of deportations, with 70 foreign nationals removed from Nigeria between 2020 and 2022. The NIS aims to address irregular migration and enforce its updated immigration regulations.
