President Bola Tinubu has approved the extension of Mrs. Kemi Nandap’s tenure as the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) until December 31, 2026.

According to Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy in a statement on Monday, the extension is a testament to Nandap’s exemplary leadership and the significant advancements made by the NIS under her guidance.
