President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved an extension of tenure for the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mrs. Kemi Nanna Nandap, allowing her to remain in office until December 31, 2026.
A statement released on Monday by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga confirmed the decision, highlighting Nandap’s impactful leadership in border security and immigration modernization.
Mrs. Nandap, who joined the Nigeria Immigration Service on October 9, 1989, was initially appointed as Comptroller-General on March 1, 2024, with her tenure set to end in August 2025.
However, President Tinubu, impressed by her contributions, has extended her leadership to ensure continued progress in the agency’s operations.
Under her administration, the Nigeria Immigration Service has recorded significant advancements in border control, passport issuance, and security measures, aligning with the government’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Commending her achievements, President Tinubu urged Mrs. Nandap to remain committed to her duties and assured continued government support in strengthening Nigeria’s territorial integrity and ensuring safe and legal migration.
With this extension, expectations are high for further reforms and innovations within the Immigration Service, ensuring a more efficient and secure system for Nigerians and foreign travelers.
