Government to Install Biometric Machines at Airports Nationwide

The government has made a significant decision to install biometric machines at all airports across the country to enhance security measures for international travelers. The Ministry of Interior has mandated the mandatory biometric verification for international passengers and has issued a directive to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to take immediate action.

The Ministry’s communication outlined that this biometric system will significantly hinder the ability of wanted individuals to travel both domestically and internationally. The machines are slated to be set up at international immigration counters, facilitating thorough checks for all passengers.

The initiative aims to enhance the security framework in line with global standards, ensuring more effective scrutiny of travelers. By adopting these advanced verification methods, the government underscores its commitment to improving safety protocols at key transit points, aiming for a more secure travel environment for all citizens.
