Tinubu extends tenures of NCoS, NIS chiefs by 18 months

President Bola Tinubu has granted an 18-month extension to the tenures of the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, and the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kemi Nanna Nandap. The extension, approved by the President, will see Nwakuche remain in office until May 26, 2028, while Nandap’s tenure will conclude on June 30, 2028.

The extension was recommended by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, to address succession gaps in both services and provide ample time for the appointment of their successors. President Tinubu commended Nwakuche and Nandap for the reforms achieved under their leadership and urged them to consolidate these gains.
