No tenure extension for Immigration CG Isah Jere
The Federal Government has ordered acting Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Isah Jere, to proceed on terminal leave.
He was asked to hand over to the most senior officer in the NIS.
Before now, there were reports that Jere had secured a fresh extension of his service by one year.
He was appointed in acting capacity just before his retirement in April 2022 with one-year extension, which lapses on April 24, 2023.
The latest directive is contained in a letter dated Monday 17th April, 2023, addressed to the Acting Comptroller General, Nigeria Immigration Service and signed by the Secretary to the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire; and Immigration Services Board, Obasi Edozie Edmond, the Chairman of the Board, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
“You are directed to hand over to the most senior officer in the service,” the letter read.
President Muhammadu Buhari had in a letter dated April 22, 2022, and addressed to the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, by Chief of Staff to President Buhari, Prof Ibrahim Gambari, announced the approval of the extension of Jere’s tenure with immediate effect.
