President Bola Tinubu has granted two heads of service an 18-month extension to their tenures.
Both the Nigerian Immigration Service’s Comptroller-General, Kemi Nanna Nandap, and the Nigerian Correctional Service’s Controller-General, Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, are impacted.
Bayo Onanuga, the president’s special adviser on information and strategy, made the announcement on Monday.
The minister of interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, recommended the extension, according to Onanuga.
The President urged the two officers to continue the positive reforms they started and praised them for their work.
The appointment of Nwakuche as CG of the Correctional Service was made by Tinubu in December 2024, and he was confirmed by the Senate in March 2025, as reported by the Afrisearch.
