9,077 NIS OFFICERS IN TROUBLE, FOUND WORKING WITH A FAKE
CERTIFICATE
With immediate effect 9,077 NIS Officers has been suspended for an act that
is punishable by three years imprisonment, This Officers were found working
under the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) with a fake qualification
certificate.
The effected Commands are as list below:
2,430 found in Enugu State Command, 700 found in Abuja Command, 1,710
found in Kaduna Command, 953 found in Imo State Command, 3,284 found in
Abia State Command.
Mr Kure .M. Abeshi, the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration
Service today made it known that he is disappointed in such development,
following the recent issues facing the NIS, I am so disappointed in the
Recruiting and Screening Department and I must take proper action
necessary”, furthermore, he said, I was made the CG on a platform of Change,
and change must come. I will pardon these officers on the side of
imprisonment for the sake of change but would never work under any of the
Federal Service again and never in the history of the NIS would such act be
pardon. Also I sound this as a warning to all the general public and applicants
who are interesting in applying for the upcoming Recruitment never to indulge
in such act, for any person found under such act would face the punishment.
We are still waiting for the Federal Government to approve our request for a
fresh recruitment on this platform of change; there are a lot of empty
positions in all this effected Commands, currently replacements for some
position will commerce while we still awaits the Federal Government for
approval of our general recruitment proposal.
Also regarding the issue of those 2015 applicants who were recruited and
later suspended on the issue of fake recruiting process is still under the
committee and such applicant might be called back to resume work soonest,
says the spokesman and Deputy Comptroller of Immigration, Ekpedeme King.
King said with the appointment of Mr. Martin Kure Abeshi as the new
Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service (CGI) the organisation
would record unprecedented achievements in the coming months and years
and would consolidate its efforts and usher in innovative ideas for better
service.
“Since his appointment, not a few Nigerians have been wondering how the
new CGI would redeem the image of the Service through his policies and how
he intends to implement them,” King said.
He said that under Abeshi the Nigerian Immigration Service has set out its
plans
King said following reports that expatriate businessmen at times board
airplanes to Nigeria without prior approval for their visas under the visa-on-
arrival programme designated to promote investment in Nigeria, owing to their
misunderstanding of the visa procedure in NIS website, the CGI has directed
the managers of the website www.immmgration.gov.ng , Messrs NewWorks
Ltd. to take another look at the field that outlines requirements for visa
facility with a view to urgently remove or review any section that is ambiguous
and ensure clarity in procedures before the end of October, 2015, adding that
as a matter of fact, the CGI has instructed that the website must be updated
regularly.
On the issue of administration of the Nigerian Passport, he said the CGI
encouraged the three days’ time frame for application and collection of
passport. And also urge all Nigerian home and aboard to renew their
passports.
On Immigration Act 2015, the CGI has directed the Legal Unit of the NIS to
make copies of the recently promulgated Immigration Act 2015 available to all
formations.
“In addition to the directive, he has also instructed the Human Resources
Directorate, the Legal Unit and Public Relations Unit to ensure training
programmes are organised for the four training schools before the end of 2015
and a conference in Abuja for stakeholders and senior Immigration officers by
the first quarter of 2016,” King said
