This is contained in a statement issued by the the Public Relations Unit of the Service.
The statement quoted Adepoju as saying: “You may wish to know, that through the grace of God and by the benevolence of the present government, I have been confirmed as a substantive Comptroller General of Immigration.”
She was said to have disclosed this to staff of the NIS during the Comptroller General’s Parade, adding that the date for her decoration would soon be announced.
