Tech Impact On Nigeria Immigration Service

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) is a critical institution responsible for managing migration, border control, and the issuance of travel documents in Nigeria. Its core mandate includes regulating the entry and exit of persons, issuing passports and visas, and enforcing immigration laws.

Hong Kong Recovers Black Boxes, others from crashed Cargo Airline

Frank Musa
The black box flight recorders from an aircraft involved in a crash that killed two people at Hong Kong airport earlier this week have been reportedly recovered.

It could be recalled that the Boeing cargo plane veered off the runway during landing on Monday morning, 20th October 2025, then hit a security patrol car and skidded into the sea.

It was one of the most serious incidents since the airport commenced operations in 1998.

Two security staff were killed in the incident, with authorities saying they had been in a safe position “outside the runway area”.

The Airport Authority in Hong Kong said on Saturday, 25th October 2025, that one of the engines and the landing gear have been salvaged along with data recorders.

The city’s transport and logistics bureau said it would release a preliminary investigation report within one month.

Authorities reported that the American and Turkish civil aviation accident investigative agencies, and experts from Boeing, were participating in the ongoing investigation.

Emirates Airlines said the plane was on a short-term lease from the Istanbul-headquartered Act Airlines, which operated the aircraft.
