The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola made the appeal when the High Commissioner of Canada to Nigeria, James Christoff alongside his team paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja, yesterday.
Aregbesola also stated that the Canadian Government should assist Nigeria in sharing her technological innovations that will promote installation of facilities to monitor movements in Nigeria’s borders (high seas, lands, railways and schools) for quick responses on security matters.
This, he said, would fast-track investment opportunities in Nigeria.
Earlier, the Canadian High Commissioner, Christoff had disclosed that the purpose of the visit was to seek bilateral co-operation with Nigeria in the areas of economy, security, technology, education and training of immigration officers on efficient border monitoring for security purposes.
Christoff further informed that Canadian Government will review some of the conditions in getting visa to Canada so that Nigerians can access Canada without much difficulties.
In a statement, the Permanent Secretary, Shuaib Belgore in his remarks stated that the partnership and co-operation of Nigeria and Canadian Government will go a long way towards the development of the two countries and also bring an end to security challenges in both countries.
