A long overdue border wall. It will be the largest federal infrastructure project in Nigeria. It's not going to be just concrete and steelwires. It will be a smart wall, with ground sensors, sentry towers, cameras and drones. Yes, billions of dollars will have to be invested, but in... the long run, it will be a small price to pay. Nigeria has spent over ₦33 trillion on defence and national security in the last decade and we will continue pouring billions into security operations with diminishing returns if we do not take the bold step to address our most critical vulnerabilities, our ridiculously porous borders. Securing our borders is not what we can afford to postpone. Its an investment in breaking the cycle of endless conflict, infiltration and replenishment of terrorist networks.show more

Just look at Egypt in Africa 🌍 Strong Border Fence and Security Check points, even with the best Defense in Africa. Fencing all our borders is important, all these corruption and stealing resources should be invested in the future of our Country.

Atiku just said he would open the border o .😭😭😭😭😭

That should never be allowed to happen

There is no better wall better than good governance across the tiers of government. A country run on justice and equality will get unconsciously recruit patrotic citizens who will man and report illegals without a dime. Why not mine the grey areas of the border

Sir now you're a minister of defense do this please

We will now fence our brothers out?

😂😂😂😂😂 l laugh in Mongolia, your elephant project will not work, the cabal and their colonial masters needs money. Stop taking script from god knows were.

Please our leaders safeguard d lives of your people give us peace by fencing our borders @officialbat

It shouldn't end there but must also proceed to serious identity digitalization because the current NINS ID almost make no sense and doesn't track the common aboki on the streets of Kano, Osun or Lagos.

Finally

This is where elbit systems comes in Elbit systems is an Israeli run tech company that's into surveillance drones ,monitoring equipments And Ai controlled machines They've proven themselves in Gaza and would prove efficient to us here

Wetin dem wan use power am

We can secure our borders with more affordable drones

Its long overdue kam

I guess it takes more than being a minister to get such project approved!

Absolutely. Border security deserves a long-term, technology-driven approach. A smart border system that combines physical infrastructure with surveillance, sensors, drones and intelligence could significantly strengthen Nigeria’s ability to prevent infiltration and cut off the supply lines that sustain insecurity. It is a major investment, but protecting the country’s territorial integrity should remain a national priority.

@grok we finally getting a border wall or the poster just dey talk his own?

U have the power now do it na

“Our borders” 🤡

The drone and other equipments mentioned, can't it monitor the borders still,even though building the walls is still not out of place,i want to trust and believe you will do a good job but the reality on ground is telling me not to trust you,that you won't do a good job.

33 that number again popping everywhere...we see u

Physical walls don't work. Nations have tried this all throughout history, and it hasn't worked. They ll tunnel under it, or blow up one tiny section. That's all they need to breach your billion dollar wall.

@grok what is the speaker name

When you get to lake Chad, how do you build a border around it

Lol

He is the minister now he has changed topic
