?Demand sack of Nandap over in-effective service delivery

There was mild drama at the venue of the Stakeholders? meeting convened by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) held in Abuja over the absence of the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo and the Comptroller General of Immigration Service Kemi Nandap.

The meeting, whichh was convened by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) headquarters and signed by Assistant Comptroller General, F.U Nwanneka, and titled stakeholders sensitization on new visa policy, failed to attract desired result as the retired NIS officers felt disappointed and angry over the absence of the Tunji-Ojo and Nandap.

According to the retired NIS officers, who were invited under the aegis of the National Association of Retired Immigration Officers (NARIO), described the absence of the Tunji-Ojo and Nandap as an act of affront and insult, with senior retired officers coming from all over the country.

They fumed at the fact that the Association of Retired Immigration Officers invited vide letter NIS/HQ/CGIS/ 12322VI dated 11/08/2025 to attend a stakeholders meeting to discuss the various Reforms in the service were disappointed with the absence of the Minister of Interior and the Comptroller General of Immigration Service Kemi Nandap.

One of the angry retirees, who spoke with our correspondent, said: ?I started working in NIS when the Minister was just three years old, why should a person of my last born age be playing with our intelligence, for the CGI Kemi I don?t know her as an officer, when I was a Comptroller, I don?t know her rank, nor where she was.

?If our invitation was useless, they shouldn?t send letters to us, but I have a reservation because I thought we are trying to resolve a national problem.

?Mr President should appoint a better person as Minister and allow the CG Kemi Nandap to go on retirement as she is not adding value and there are young officers on line to take over from her.?

It was learnt that the Retired Immigration Officers are not comfortable with the Minister and CG Kemi Nandap,? because it looks like a bad combination.?

Many of the retirees, our correspondent gathered, left disappointed and called for the sack of CG Kemi Nandap for in-effective and in-efficient service delivery with nepotism.

The retirees, under the National Association of Retired Immigration Officers (NARIO), however congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing the new Secretary of the board CDCFIB, a Major General, that denied promotion of a junior officer that was promoted from Deputy Comptroller to Assistant Comptroller General without being a Comptroller and under one year tipped for Deputy Comptroller General, presently she is heading the Passport Directorate without prerequisites experience, she is promoted above her superiors.
