The Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Mrs Kemi Nandap, on Thursday warned newly promoted comptrollers of the service against corruption, extortion and abuse of office, saying their elevation came with greater responsibility and higher expectations.

Nandap spoke at the decoration ceremony of 106 newly promoted comptrollers of the NIS, held at the service’s headquarters in Abuja.

Twelve of the promoted officers had already retired, while the remaining 94 were decorated at the ceremony.

She told the officers, “Let me state unequivocally that corruption, extortion, abuse of office, professional negligence, and indiscipline have no place in the Nigerian Immigration Service we are building.

“I expect every controller to demonstrate zero tolerance for misconduct and to ensure that officers under their supervision understand the consequences of violating established standards.”

She added, “Your promotion is not simply a reward for what you have accomplished.

“It is a declaration of confidence in what you are now expected to deliver. The rank being conferred upon you today is not merely an additional insignia on your shoulders.

“It is a greater burden of trust. It is a higher standard of conduct, and it is a solemn responsibility to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Nandap said the newly elevated comptrollers must transition from executing instructions to interpreting policies, exercising sound judgment and inspiring personnel.
