The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammad Babandede has promised to sanction officers who lobby for positions or postings.
He spoke at the ‘passing out parade’ of the second batch of converted/ upgraded officers (Course 2019) of the service held at the Immigration Training School, Kano.
“You are advised not to engage anybody to lobby on your behalf for any favours including staff deployment. Failure to adhere to this would be tantamount to indiscipline” he stated.
