My Priority Areas Are Passport Issues And Welfare – Ag. CG Immigration

The newly appointed Ag Comptroller General of Immigration Service, Caroline Wuruola Adepoju, has directed all the passport offices nationwide to take necessary steps to ensure no Nigerian is subjected to any unnecessary delays or substandard treatments in the course of applying for passports.

Gatekeeepers News reports that new Ag CGIS read the riot act when she addressed top management of the NIS minutes after taking over from Alhaji Isah Jere, the immediate past CGIS.

Adepoju went on to say that she will focus majorly on Passport issues and staff welfare as those two aspects contributed mostly to the complaints of Nigerians and NIS personnel.

She announced that a stakeholders meeting will be convened in the next few days to x Ray the real issues in passport process and to proffer far reaching solutions, which will include opening more front offices in the lagos area where bulk of the complaints emanated from.

The Ag CGIS equally said she will adopt a buttom top approach in tackling officers welfare and will start by meeting all cadres of staff to hear their genuine needs in a bid to hit the ground running with a blue print that will be based on an all inclusive needs assessment.

She poured encomiums on the immediate past CGIS and asked God to guide him in his future endeavors.
