A top member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ambassador Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, has asked President Bola Tinubu to take action on Nigeria’s weak borders. He wants the government to use drones, biometric systems, and other modern technology to monitor and protect the country’s borders.

In a letter to the President, Mumuni said these tools are needed to help fight serious security problems. His statement was shared with the public by his media aide, Rasheed Abubakar.

He explained that for years, Nigerians have been dealing with terrorism, kidnapping, armed robbery, bandit attacks, and illegal migration. He believes these problems continue because people can cross the borders too easily without being checked.

Mumuni said that if modern tools are used to watch and control the borders, illegal activities that cause insecurity can be reduced. He also advised the government to do a full check on all of Nigeria’s borders and give security workers the right tools to do their jobs better.

He added that safer borders will also help Nigeria do better business with other countries.

Mumuni warned that the current level of insecurity in Nigeria is very serious. Since the borders are the first point where threats can enter, they need to be protected properly. He also said that the government should listen to experts and not rely on advice from people who don’t understand how to handle security issues.

He pointed out that borders are not just lines on a map—they control the flow of people, goods, and even dangers. Weak borders allow criminals and terrorists to move around freely. Nigeria’s closeness to other troubled countries makes the situation worse, as criminals often move across easily.

He suggested that using new technology, improving surveillance, and putting more security forces at important border points would help stop terrorists and criminals. Many illegal trade routes are used to bring in weapons, drugs, and stolen goods.

By securing the borders, Nigeria can stop these illegal activities, which often give money to terrorist groups and organized crime.

Lastly, Mumuni said that safe borders can also grow the economy. Legal businesses will be able to operate freely, and people in insecure areas will feel safer. This safety can also build better trust between citizens and security forces.
