FG APPIONTS NEW IMIGRATION BOSS

The Federal Government has appointed Mr David Paradang, an assistant
Comptroller General of Immigration, as the new Comptroller General of
the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS).
The development is coming as a surprise following speculations that
Alhaji Rilwan Musa, who has been acting in that capacity, would be
confirmed as substantive NIS boss after Mrs Rosemary Uzoma was ordered
to proceed on pre-retirement leave in January.
The Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ekpedeme King, confirmed the
appointment on Monday.


King said the Mr Paradang would be decorated on Tuesday (today) by the
Minister of Interior, Abba Moro.
The new CGI, who hails from Plateau state, until his appointment, was
in charge of state coordination at Immigration headquarters, Abuja.
