Unrest In Nigeria Immigration Service As Acting CGIS Lobbies For Tenure Elongation
LAGOS APRIL 17TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The disquiet in the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) appears to have boiled following news of an alleged plot by Idris Isah Jere, the Acting Comptroller General of Immigration Services (CGIS) to extend his tenure for another one-year period.
The CGI was due to have proceeded of retirement from service last year but was asked to continue in service for one year, which elapses this April.
However, it appears the Immigration boss is not done as stakeholders claim that he has intensified fresh lobby within the corridors of power to again have his tenure extended.
Consequently, the stakeholders led by Akinwale Ayomipo Dennis have petitioned President Mohammadu Buhari, decrying the impeding plot they say has stifled development and weakened the morale of personnel of the service.
Akinwale, in a position he canvased on behalf of Concerned Nigeria Immigration stakeholders, said their outcry was motivated not due to any personal interest but geared to protect the integrity and sanctity of the foremost paramilitary agency.
The petition reads in part.
“We are a group of patriotic Nigerians writing under the aegis of Concerned Nigeria Immigration Stakeholders who are worried about recent developments in the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS).
“Our worry is not about personal interest but about protecting the integrity and sanctity of the Nigeria paramilitary structure particularly the Nigeria Immigration Service and more importantly is the preservation of your legacy as a rare nationalist and principled retired military officer who understands and imbibe the fundamental concept of morale in military and paramilitary system”.
