Since I came on board, I have made the welfare of personnel a front burner. This has been a good experience for our officers. Whether you like it or not, you can deploy technology as much as possible, it is the people who will manage the technology. If they are not well grounded and supported, it is going to be an exercise in futility, she said.We want to reposition NIS, we want to gain public trust. We are here to serve the people. We encourage constructive feedback and whistleblowing. We are ensuring full commitment to personnel wages as well as zero tolerance for corruption within the system. Any of our officers found wanting in any of these situations will face all the required disciplinary actions.We frown at corruption and make it a duty that any bad egg found in the system is removed. We would like to assure Nigerians that it is no longer business as usual, she concluded.Tinubu appoints new Immigration boss
