Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) Boss Supports Personnel with Buses to Ease Transportation Cost

In response to the recent hike in transportation costs due to the removal of fuel subsidy, the acting Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Caroline Wura-Ola Adepoju, has taken proactive measures to ease the burden on Officers and Men of the Service. She has released a fleet of buses to provide convenient and affordable transportation for the personnel.

This welfare package initiative, aimed at improving the lives of NIS personnel, reflects the acting CGI’s commitment to supporting and uplifting her dedicated workforce. At a brief ceremony held at the NIS Service Headquarters in Abuja on Monday, Adepoju officially handed over the buses to the Officers and Men of the Nigeria Immigration Service, emphasizing the importance of their service to the nation.

“The provision of these buses is expected to ameliorate the financial challenges posed by the recent increase in transport fare and ensure a more comfortable and affordable commuting experience for our staff,” Adepoju stated during her address.

She also revealed that additional buses are already being procured to cover major routes within Abuja and expressed her commitment to extending this initiative to other State Commands across the country.

As part of her admonishment to the bus drivers, the acting CGI stressed the importance of upholding the highest level of commitment and diligence in their duties. She also emphasized adhering to the speed limit of 60km/h and ensuring the safety and security of the personnel during their travels.

Furthermore, Adepoju called on all officers and men to personally take responsibility for the proper maintenance and care of the provided buses, ensuring their longevity and sustainability of the initiative in the long term.

The release of these buses is a commendable step towards easing the transportation burden on NIS personnel, fostering employee welfare, and ensuring their well-being amidst economic challenges. The initiative showcases the leadership’s dedication to supporting its workforce and fostering a conducive work environment for the NIS staff.
