Tinubu Extends Nandap's Tenure as Immigration Boss to 2026

Tinubu’s Decision: Nandap Remains Immigration Head Until 2026

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

Mrs. Nandap began her career with the NIS on October 9, 1989, and was appointed as Comptroller-General on March 1, 2024, with her initial term set to conclude on August 31, 2025.

Under her leadership, the NIS has achieved significant advancements in border management, modernization of immigration processes, and enhancement of national security measures.

President Tinubu commended Mrs. Nandap for her exemplary leadership and urged her to continue aligning the Service’s strategic priorities with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

However, this extension has raised concerns regarding adherence to public service regulations, which typically mandate retirement upon reaching 60 years of age or completing 35 years of service.
