The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Isah Jere, has been directed by the federal government to proceed on retirement.
This was conveyed in a letter from the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board, dated 17th of April, 2023.
Daily Trust reported that Jere was directed to hand over “to the most senior Officer Deputy Comptroller General on or before Monday 24th April 2023, pending Mr. President’s appointment of a substantive Comptroller General of the Service.”
This is coming after his tenure was extended for a year, from last year April to April 24, 2023.
Some officers of the Service had already threatened to embark on a protest should the Federal Government extend his tenure again.
