The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) is a government agency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, responsible for the country's border security and migration management. It was established by the Act of Parliament in 1963.[2][3] In 2015, the 1963 Act was repealed and replaced with the Immigration Act 2015 which positions the service with the legal instrument to combat the Smuggling of migrants (SOM) in Nigeria.[4] The Nigeria Immigration Service is a paramilitary agency under the Federal Ministry of Interior and it is considered a critical member of the National Security Architecture of Nigeria.[5]
