The Comptroller in charge of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) Seme Command, Comptroller Dominic Asogwa, has commended the Comptroller-General of the service, Compt. Muhammad Babadede for his effective service delivery, good works and as well as welfare of the officers and men of the service.
Apart from being a committed, visionary and intelligent leader, Comptroller Asogwa described the CGIS as a wonderful leader and also an ICT guru.
He said the developmental strives made within his tenure has surpassed the developmental strides of other CGIS since the Nigeria Immigration Service was created.
He said the CGIS is currently building technology worth N7.7 billion at the service headquarters, Abuja, which is being constructing by Julius Berger. Adding that the project has passed the stage of initiative because it was approved by Federal Executive Council (FEC).
With shortage of fund, which has been an issue, he said the CGIS has done his best to ensure that officers embark on trainings and other welfare issues are attended to in the service.
On inter agency collaboration, Asogwa said that NIS is not working in isolation but collaborates with other sister agencies that they always cooperate with to achieve government directives particularly at this time of general elections.
While speaking on transborder crimes and other criminalities, Comptroller Asogwa noted that their activities have reduced but not completely wiped out and that as they are strategizing and coming out with new tactics, the officers and men of the NIS are following them with new strategies.
On capacity building, Asogwa hinted: ‘’Compt. Muhammad Babadede embarked on a serious capacity building or training of officers and men of the service. As matter of fact, if you don’t know what to do as an officer, you will mess up the system. Number one, you have to be trained to know your job. So training is a big factor to my success in border management here at Seme border.
