President Bola Tinubu has approved an extension of the tenure of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) Comptroller-General (CG), Kemi Nanna Nandap to December 2026.
The announcement was made on Monday, March 31, in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, Nandap’s leadership has brought notable advancements in border management, modernization of immigration processes, and national security.
President Tinubu praised the CG for her “exemplary leadership” and urged her to remain committed to the Service’s strategic goals, which align with his administration’s vision. He also reaffirmed his government’s dedication to supporting the NIS in safeguarding Nigeria’s borders and ensuring safe, legal, and orderly migration.
