President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended the tenure of the Nigerian Immigration Service’s (NIS) Comptroller-General, Kemi Nandap, till December 31, 2026.
This was announced in a statement issued on Monday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Nandap, according to the statement, was appointed by Tinubu as the Service’ Comptroller-General on March 1, 2024, with her tenure set to expire on August 31, 2025.
The extension would see Nandap, who began her career in the Nigeria Immigration Service on October 9, 1989, manage the helm of the Service for another 15 months after the initial expiration of her tenure.
Under her leadership, the Nigeria Immigration Service has reportedly witnessed significant advancements in its core mandate, with notable improvements in border management, modernisation of immigration processes and national security measures.
President Tinubu commended the Comptroller-General for her exemplary leadership and urged her to continue dedicating herself to the Service’s strategic priorities, which align with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to supporting the Nigeria Immigration Service in fulfilling its mandate to protect Nigeria’s territorial integrity and promote safe, legal, and orderly migration.
