Tinubu confirms Adepoju as substantive Immigration CG

President Bola Tinubu has confirmed the appointment of Wura-Ola Adepoju as the substantive comptroller-general (CG) of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).

Adepoju disclosed the development to staff members of the NIS during the comptroller-general’s parade on Wednesday.

Adepoju said, “You may also wish to know, that through the grace of God and by the benevolence of the present government, I have been confirmed as a substantive comptroller-general of immigration.”

She added that the date for decoration would be announced soon.

Spokesperson for the NIS, Anyanwu Ifeanyi, while confirming the development to TheCable in a text message said, “Yes, she has been confirmed as comptroller-general.”

On May 29, President Bola Tinubu appointed Adepoju as acting CG, replacing Isah Jere, whose tenure expired on May 29.

Adepoju is the first south-western, female acting comptroller-general of the NIS.
