In today’s era of innovative and modern technologies, securing a country’s territorial boundaries requires adaptation.

To that effect, the Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the deployment of drones, aircraft and geospatial technology monitoring Nigeria’s borders.

The overall strategy is to negate the need for erecting a physical barrier in the nations borders through the introduction of an e-Customs by the Nigerian Customs Authority.
