President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended the outgoing Comptroller-General of the Immigration Service (CGIS), Caroline Wura-Ola Adepoju, for exceptional service to the country. During the pull-out parade ceremony in Abuja on Thursday, Minister of Interior Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo expressed gratitude to the retiring immigration boss for the successful implementation of reforms, clearing passport backlogs, and enhancing security at border posts. The Minister said: “On behalf of the President of Nigeria, I extend appreciation to the outgoing Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service for her outstanding contributions.
She not only elevated the standards of the Service but also positively impacted millions in our society. “Conceiving ideas is one thing but executing them flawlessly is another. I commend you for your role in implementing the reforms we collaborated on, including clearing over 200,000 passport backlogs within two weeks. Additionally, the imminent launch of the command-and-control centre, alongside revamped security measures at our border posts, reflects our joint commitment to enhancing national security. I am particularly grateful for your exemplary leadership. Throughout your tenure, not once did I encounter a crisis that required my intervention. You fostered a sense of unity within your team, treating them like family.”
