President Muhammadu Buhari appoints Idris Isah Jere to head the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) following the retirement of Muhammad Babandede.
Deputy Comptroller-General in charge of Finance and Account, Mr Jere takes over in acting capacity until a substantive Comptroller-General is appointed.
Mr Babandede, who was appointed as NIS Comptroller-General in 2016, bowed out on Friday after 36 years of service with the NIS.
“I have left Immigration better than I found it,” Mr Babandede said at a valedictory ceremony held in his honour, adding, “Keep the good things and drop the bad ones.”
