Nigeria Immigration Service Boss, Rose Uzoma, Sacked Over Recruitment Scandal

GE admin January 15, 2013 2

The Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service, Mrs. Rose Uzoma, has been forced to retired from service.

Her unceremonious retirement followed the recruitment scandal that rocked the Service in the last few weeks. The controversial recruitment, in which she was accused of favoring people from her region, had since been cancelled by the Minister of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro.

According to Saharareporters, a strong petition was forwarded to President Goodluck Jonathan from the supervising minister, part of the petition read :

“The most recent posting of Men and Officers of the Service in which due process was initially followed with all required parties involved, including the Minister of Internal Affairs Mr. Abba Moro has been reversed by the comptroller.

Three weeks after the resumptions/reporting to their new beats, the CG of Immigration unilaterally prepared an impromptu circular (without the knowledge of the Minister of Internal Affairs and other stakeholders) to remove some of the newly posted officers and replace them with her loyalists.

An example is the Festac Passport Office in Lagos where there was an open confrontation between the newly posted officer (on the actual posting) and another officer (from Mrs. Uzoma list) was created on Thursday 10th of January, 2013.”

Today’s “retirement” was saving grace, as Mrs. Uzoma was asked to resign which she did.

Moro had issued a statement saying the former NIS boss had been allowed to go on her terminal leave.
