Tinubu extends tenure of heads of Immigration and Correctional Services

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu approved 18-month tenure extensions for Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, head of the Nigerian Correctional Service, and Kemi Nanna Nandap, head of the Nigeria Immigration Service. Nwakuche will remain in office until May 26, 2028, and Nandap until June 30, 2028. Recommended by Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the extensions are intended to address a succession gap and give the boards time to appoint successors. Tinubu praised the reforms achieved under both leaders and urged them to build on those gains.
