President Bola Tinubu has approved the extension of the tenure of the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mrs. Kemi Nanna Nandap, until December 31, 2026.
A statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, highlighted Mrs. Nandap’s extensive career in the NIS, which began on October 9, 1989. She was first appointed as Comptroller-General on March 1, 2024, with an initial tenure set to end on August 31, 2025.
Under her leadership, the NIS has made notable progress in border management, immigration process modernization, and national security enhancement, the statement noted.
Commending her efforts, President Tinubu urged Mrs. Nandap to sustain her commitment to the Service’s strategic objectives, aligning with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda. He also reaffirmed his government’s support for the NIS in safeguarding Nigeria’s borders and ensuring safe, legal, and orderly migration.
Civil society organizations (CSOs) have been called upon to actively monitor and engage with ongoing immigration reforms to ensure transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the Service’s operations.
