No Submission of Diplomatic Passport, no Payments of Benefits
In response to a proposal to President Muhammadu Buhari on the refusal of some former governors, ministers and senators to submit their diplomatic passports to the NIS, the Federal Government has instructed the Nigeria Immigration Service to inform all federal and state and local government institutions to henceforth hold onto retired officials’ retirement and severance benefits until they return their diplomatic passports.
This was disclosed by the Comptroller-General of Immigration, Mohammed Babandede on Wednesday in Abuja , during an interview.
The Comptroller-General stated that strict measures might also be considered, including prosecution of recalcitrant former public office-holders, noting however, that some past officials had submitted their diplomatic passports to the immigration
