Mrs. Rose Chinyere Uzoma, the Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), was today Tuesday 15th January retired from the service following the controversy that trailed the recruitment exercise of the agency.
A letter conveying her retirement was signed by the Minister of Interior and Chairman of CDFIPB, Comrade Abba Moro. Mrs Uzoma will be temporarily replaced by her deputy, Mr. Rilwan Bala Musa, pending when the agency gets a new Comptroller General.
""I am to further convey that you are to hand over the duties and responsibilities of your office on or Wednesday, 16th January, 2013 to the most senior Deputy Comptroller General of Immigration in the person of Rilwan Bala Musa MNI, who will act as Comptroller General of Immigration pending the appointment of a substantive CG of Immigration.
"On behalf of the Hon. Minister of Interior and all members of the board, I wish to thank you for your service to Nigeria. The board wishes you good luck in your future endeavour. The statement by Dr. Attahiru concluded."
It would be recalled that Mrs. Uzoma, who was given the mantle of leadership of the Immigration service on July 30, 2010, was believed to have narrowly edged out Mr. Babajide Brown, an older Deputy Controller of the Service (DCG) in a closely fought battle for the position."
