She said this in Abuja on Friday during the decoration of 15 newly promoted assistant comptrollers-general [ACGs] and 95 promoted comptrollers of immigration service (CIS).
Nandap said the promotion is a testament to the officers’ hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving the country.
“A total of 13,977 personnel were promoted; encompassing 6,697 officers rising from assistant superintendent of immigration II (ASI2) to assistant comptroller general (ACG),” she said.
“Also included are 7,280 personnel advancing from Immigration Assistant II (IA2) to Inspector of Immigration (II).
“This mass promotion, unprecedented in scope and impact, sends a powerful message about our commitment to rewarding excellence, fostering growth, and building a service that is not only motivated but also equipped to meet the demands of a modern and complex world.”
Nandap said the promotion process under the leadership of Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the minister of interior, has been fair and transparent.
“This has become possible by the civil defence, correctional, fire and immigration services board (CDCFIB) under the dynamic leadership of the minister of interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo,” she said.
“Under the Minister of Interior, the board has worked tirelessly to ensure that the promotion process is fair, transparent and that results are released timely to reflect the aspirations of our officers.
