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

Nandap, who joined the NIS on October 9, 1989, was appointed as Comptroller-General on March 1, 2024. Her initial tenure was set to end on August 31, 2025, but with this extension, she will continue to lead the Service for an additional period.

In a statement issued on Monday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu commended Nandap for her exemplary leadership and the improvements made in critical areas such as border management, immigration modernization, and national security under her watch.

The statement highlighted the significant progress recorded in the NIS since her appointment, noting that her leadership has strengthened border security, enhanced immigration processes, and improved national security measures.

President Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the NIS in its mission to safeguard Nigeria’s borders and ensure safe, legal migration. He urged Nandap to remain focused on strategic priorities that align with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasizing the importance of continuous reform in the immigration sector.
