The Benue Investment and Property Company, BIPC, and the Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS, have agreed to deepen collaboration to strengthen the monitoring, documentation and security of expatriates working in Benue state.
The resolution followed a meeting between the Group Managing Director of BIPC, Dr. Raymond Asemakaha, and the Benue State Comptroller of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Mrs. Grace Nkangwung, held at the company’s boardroom in Makurdi.
Speaking during the meeting, Dr. Asemakaha disclosed that BIPC accounts for about 75 percent of expatriates currently working in the state through its industrial and investment projects.
He said the company would henceforth furnish the Nigerian Immigration Service with details of all expatriates engaged in its operations, including their Temporary Work Permits, TWP, to ensure proper documentation and effective monitoring.
