Ja’afaru highlighted the unprecedented nature of the promotions: “There has never been a time in the NIS when this many officers were promoted. Many officers had been stuck in their positions for up to 10 years due to a lack of vacancies. This issue of stagnation has now been resolved under the leadership of the Minister of Interior.”

He added, “Five officers received special promotions, including one who delivered a job that would have cost the NIS millions if done by external consultants.”

Kemi Nandap, the Comptroller General of the Immigration Service (CGIS), commended the government’s dedication to career advancement and development within the Service, highlighting that these promotions would help eradicate career stagnation.

“Stagnation is now a thing of the past in the NIS. This has been made possible by the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) under the leadership of the Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo,” she said.

Nandap lauded the Board’s efforts in ensuring a fair, transparent, and timely promotion process, adding, “The 2024 promotion exercise is historic, with 13,977 personnel promoted. This mass promotion sends a strong message about our dedication to rewarding excellence and fostering a motivated and capable workforce, prepared to meet the challenges of a modern world.”

The promotion encompassed 6,697 officers who advanced from Assistant Superintendent of Immigration II (ASI2) to Assistant Comptroller General (ACG), and 7,280 personnel who were promoted from Immigration Assistant II (IA2) to Inspector of Immigration (II).
