The USA with it's own border challenges now well in hand Tuesday met with the federal government to express their willingness to assist Nigeria in offering modern technological assistance to fortify security at the nation's borders with the aim of curbing the activities of terrorist in the country.
The leader of the US delegation, and the Counter Terrorism Deputy Secretary, Ms. Anne Witkowsky, said the aim of the visit was to avail Nigeria of the modern technology of securing borders by showing the Personal Identifications Secure Comparison System (PICES) and the Demonstration of the PICES equipment. Witkowsky explained that the PICES equipment was a border control system with ten fingerprints, which portrays that if the name and other means of identification were falsified or the spelling was off a digit, the ten fingerprints cannot be captured. |
