Tinubu Extends Tenures of Immigration, Prison Chiefs to 2028
President Bola Tinubu has approved an 18-month extension for the tenures of Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, and Kemi Nanna Nandap, the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service. This extension means Nwakuche will remain in office until May 26, 2028, while Nandap will serve until June 30, 2028.
The announcement was made by Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, on a Monday. The extension was based on a recommendation from the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, aimed at preventing a leadership gap in both services and allowing sufficient time for the boards to appoint successors.
President Tinubu commended both officials for the reforms achieved during their leadership and urged them to build upon these gains. Nwakuche was nominated by Tinubu in December 2024 and confirmed by the Senate in March 2025, while Nandap was nominated on February 21, 2024, and confirmed on March 1, 2024.
