President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the extension of the tenure of the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mrs. Kemi Nanna Nandap, until December 31, 2026.
Mrs. Nandap, who began her career with the NIS on October 9, 1989, was initially appointed as Comptroller-General on March 1, 2024, with her tenure set to end on August 31, 2025. However, in recognition of her leadership and contributions to the service, President Tinubu has granted an extension, allowing her to continue steering the agency’s affairs for an additional period.
Under her leadership, the Nigeria Immigration Service has witnessed significant advancements, particularly in border security, modernization of immigration processes, and national security measures. The President commended her for her exemplary service and urged her to remain dedicated to the strategic objectives of the NIS, which align with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
President Tinubu also reiterated his administration’s commitment to supporting the Nigeria Immigration Service in fulfilling its mandate to protect Nigeria’s territorial integrity while promoting safe and orderly migration.
The announcement was made by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, through a State House press release on Monday.
With this extension, Mrs. Nandap is expected to continue driving key reforms in the immigration service, reinforcing Nigeria’s border management efforts and improving the country’s migration framework.
