President Bola Tinubu has extended the term of Kemi Nandap, the comptroller-general (CG) of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), to December 31, 2026.
Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser on information and strategy to the president, announced the extension in a statement issued on Monday.
Onanuga said Tinubu commended Nandap for her leadership of the NIS, citing improvements in border management, immigration modernisation, and national security under her watch.
“Under her leadership, the Nigeria Immigration Service has witnessed significant advancements in its core mandate, with notable improvements in border management, modernisation of immigration processes and national security measures,” the statement reads.
“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.”
Nandap joined the NIS on October 9, 1989, and was appointed the CG by Tinubu on March 1. Before the tenure extension, she was expected to leave office on August 31, 2025.
