Following expiration of his one-year tenure extension on April 24, 2023, it appears the retired Comptroller General (CG) of NIS, Isah Idris, is retired but not tired, as he remains in office in a fresh elongation by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall that less than a month ago, precisely April 17, 2023, a memo from the Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Services Board , under the Federal Ministry of Interior, directed the CG to vacate his seat, on or before April 24, and hand over to the most senior officer in the agency.
However, in a dramatic turn of events, a statement from Public Relations Officer of the Service, Tony Akuneme, on April 28, 2023, said: “President Muhammad Buhari has approved extension of tenure for the CG, Isah Jere Idris, till the end of the current administration on May 29, 2023. “I will advice the Federal Government to urgently select and appoint, from the rank of Assistant CG, a very intelligent, articulate, responsible, astute and incorruptible officer, who deeply understands all conceivable perspectives of immigration statutory responsibilities.
On his part, the President, Journalists’ International Forum for Migration , Dr. Ajibola Abayomi Patrick, said: “It has almost become the culture of the current government of President Buhari to extend the tenure of serving officers, not just in Immigration.
