meeting with heads of the non-Nigerian
nationals intimating them on the need to
adhere strictly to the ECOWAS protocol
which requires that non-Nigerians must
come in through the recognised gateways and obtain ECOWAS travel certificate in their countries. By recognised routes, we mean the places where you have immigration, customs and all those security agents who are to screen you and ensure that you have good intentions before you come into the country.
