The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has seen a change of leadership with the appointment of Kemi Nandap as the new Comptroller-General. One of the first actions taken by the new leadership was the withdrawal of the posting of some personnel who had recently been deployed as immigration attaches to Nigerian embassies abroad.
Under the previous administration led by Caroline Wura-Ola, immigration officers were approved for posting to various Nigerian embassies across Europe, the United States, Asia, and African countries. However, with the change in leadership, the new Comptroller-General mandated the affected personnel to cancel their plans to resume at the foreign postings and return to their original duty posts.
A circular signed by the Assistant Comptroller General, GC Didel, on Tuesday explained that the directive was necessary to address certain procedural and administrative issues within the service. The circular requested the affected officers to return their original posting orders to the SA-CGIS (Foreign Desk) by Thursday, March 9, 2024, to facilitate the resolution of these issues.
The decision to recall the immigration attaches underscores the importance of ensuring smooth administrative processes and adherence to established procedures within the NIS. By redirecting the personnel back to their original duty posts, the service aims to address any outstanding administrative issues that may have arisen during the transition in leadership.
It is essential for all officers affected by the recall to comply with the directive and return their posting orders as requested. Strict adherence to the instructions outlined in the circular is crucial to maintaining the efficiency and integrity of the NIS operations.
The circular serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of organizational structures and the need for flexibility in adapting to changes in leadership and operational requirements. As the NIS continues to evolve under the new leadership, ensuring that administrative processes run smoothly and effectively is key to promoting operational excellence and service delivery.
In conclusion, the withdrawal of the posting of immigration attaches to Nigerian embassies abroad is a strategic decision aimed at addressing procedural and administrative issues within the NIS. By recalling the affected personnel to their original duty posts, the service is prioritizing efficiency and adherence to established protocols. All officers involved are urged to comply with the directive and return their posting orders promptly to facilitate the resolution of any outstanding issues.
