Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, has redeployed 518 officers of the
service from five international airports and state commands, “to
checkmate sharp practices among the affected officers.”
Many travellers have been complaining of how Immigration officers demand bribe or tips when they encounter them.
Sunday James, the NIS spokesperson, in a statement on Sunday, said
that the Comptroller-General of the NIS, Muhammad Babandede, ordered the
massive redeployment as part of plans to instil professionalism and
enhance service delivery to the public.
The airports are Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos;
Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja; Aminu Kano International
Airport, Kano, Port Harcourt International Airport; and Akanu Ibiam
International Airport Enugu.
The NIS boss said that the measure was also meant to reduce the
number of officers in the formations by half, for efficient service
delivery
Babandede warned immigration officers on the need to align with the
change mantra and eliminate all unnecessary bureaucracy in the course of
rendering services to the public.
The Federal Government recently established the Presidential Enabling
Business Environment Council, PBEC, with the mandate to fast track the
ease of doing business in Nigeria.
