Tinubu extends tenures of Immigration and Correctional Service chiefs

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’s tenure will end on May 26, 2028, and Nandap’s on June 30, 2028. Recommended by Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the extensions are intended to address succession gaps and give the services’ boards time to appoint successors. Tinubu praised the reforms achieved under both chiefs and urged them to consolidate their gains.
