CHAPTER ONE

       1.0                     INTRODUCTION

Right from the time immemorial, people often move from one country of origin to another for one reason or the other, in Africa more especially the recent continuous down word trend in the economy had increased the rate with which many people abandon their country of origin  and embark on long distance journey, an Europe in search  of greener pasture. Some other people choose to live in neighboring countries, an African who are light given, placed in economy than Nigeria had recorded a substantial number of Immigrants in recent time, greater percentage is from Africa region. It is also discovered that apart from handful of them who enter in to the country without proper screening large number of there illegal Immigrants who bring these disease into the country obviously don’t undergo an initial health screening and never present their yellow card, that contain every information about them including their health status is regarded of permanent resistant who are entering the country legally to ensure that they are not bearing contagious disease known as exotic disease.

This yellow card is issued and scrutinized by immigration service Apartment. Therefore Immigration service Nigeria is the part of the home office that regulate entry into the country the impact of Immigration on our country is often over locked. Although hundreds of visitor for tourism and business come every year, the foreign population in special concern is illegal residents who come most after from countries with enteric health problem and less developed health care. They are greatest consequence because they are responsible for a dispassionate share of serious public health problems.

On the other hand exotic diseases are these diseases which enter into a country from another country through some person, (American medical January 2005). Examples are HIV, Tuberculoses, Yellow fever, Psendorubus etc. exotic disease have caused a lot damage to the public e.g Cystieercosis which is a disease caused by the presence of tape worm.

• BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Nigeria immigration service are made to protect the health status of Nigeria from foreign disease through quarantined and intensive screening service by specially trained Immigration field officers (jeo etl 2000).

The screening procedure cuts across physical screening and testing of sample in the laboratories. The components screened are human, animal and goods to reduce the rate of cross contamination by airborne disease and other contagious disease.

Immigration screening is necessitated by the high level of instability and dynamism found around man and animal health statues. Immigration workers in Imo State are corrupt and this has reduced drastically the efficiency of the service delivered by them.

1.2  STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM    

Nigeria has many Immigration that come from different parts of the world that live in it. In Nigeria, it is the duty of Immigration department to issue out a yellow card to the travelers who wish to flight their trade in foreign country and also scrutinize foreigners who lower into the country for one reason or the other. This yellow card comprises every information about the patient including his/her health status. It is also recorded that in 1983 HIV virus was found only in U.S.A in a man in Chicago for the very first time across the globe but doesn’t exist in Nigeria as at then. But the recent increasing case and inscrosence rate of H.I.V and other exotic disease in Nigeria today is quite alarming despite the activity  of Immigration services in the country who have their representative of the borders, see ports and air ports to examine information from the travelers yellow cards therefore the researcher wonders why the basis and rule played by the Immigration service was to carry out this  research.
