The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) is a governmental organization responsible for border security and migration management in Nigeria. It was established by the Act of Parliament in 1963.[2][3] In 2015, the 1963 Act was repealed and replaced with the Immigration Act 2015 which positions the service with the legal instrument to combat the Smuggling of migrants (SOM) in Nigeria.[4]
