In a move aimed at consolidating recent advancements in immigration management, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved an extension of the tenure of Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mrs. Kemi Nanna Nandap.
According to a statement on Monday by Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Mrs Nandap will now serve in the role until December 31, 2026.
Mrs. Nandap, who began her career in the NIS on October 9, 1989, was initially appointed by President Tinubu as Comptroller-General on March 1, 2024, with a term set to end on August 31, 2025.
However, her tenure has been extended by over a year, reflecting the administration’s confidence in her leadership and the progress made under her stewardship.
Since taking charge, Mrs. Nandap has overseen significant improvements in border management, the modernization of immigration processes, and the strengthening of national security measures.
Her leadership has been instrumental in driving reforms that align with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Commending her performance, Tinubu urged Mrs. Nandap to remain committed to the strategic priorities of the Service, ensuring Nigeria’s territorial integrity while facilitating safe and legal migration.
The President also reiterated his administration’s dedication to supporting the NIS in achieving its mandate of bolstering national security and streamlining immigration services.
