Nigeria: Tinubu Extends Tenures of Heads of Correctional and Immigration Services
Tinubu said the move will let the two chiefs build on recent reforms and keep leading the Correctional Service and Immigration Service.
- On Monday, President Bola Tinubu approved 18-month tenure extensions for Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, and Kemi Nanna Nandap, Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service.
- Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo recommended the extension to address a succession gap in both services, allowing the board sufficient time to identify and appoint qualified successors.
- Under the new timeline, Nwakuche will remain in office until May 26, 2028, while Nandap's tenure concludes on June 30, 2028, following Senate confirmation of their initial appointments in 2024 and 2025.
- President Tinubu commended both officers for the reforms achieved under their leadership, charging them to consolidate these gains during the extended tenure period.
- Special Adviser on Information and Strategy Bayo Onanuga disclosed the approval on Monday, ensuring leadership stability for both services as they prepare for the 2028 transition.
