President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of DCG Kemi Nandap to serve as the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), effective from March 1, 2024.
A statement issued by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity Ajuri Ngelale said that Nandap is taking over from Mrs Caroline Wura-Ola Adepoju, whose term in office expires on February 29.
Before her appointment as Comptroller-General, Nandap was the Deputy Comptroller-General in charge of the Migration Directorate of the Service.
President Tinubu said he anticipates that the new Comptroller-General will deepen the ongoing reforms in the service and create a robust mechanism for efficient and dedicated service delivery to Nigerians, as well as strengthen the nation’s security through proactive and effective border security and migration management.
