He explained that foreigners were expected to fill the departure/arrival cards, while Nigerians would fill the departure card only.
Dambazau said that the document had been scanned and stored in a data bank to be shared with relevant stakeholders, while travel records of passengers would be secure.
He added that the new measure was part of government’s policy on “Ease of doing business in Nigeria” in line with international best practices.
Earlier, the NIS Comptroller-General, Mr Muhammad Babandede, said the service had put in place all the necessary logistics to implement the policy.
He said the NIS had strengthened its synergy with relevant agencies like Customs and NDLEA to ensure efficient service delivery.
