The Comptroller, Nigeria Immigration Service, Osun State Command, Mr. Chris Onunwor, has charged newly promoted officers in the command to be more dedicated to their duties.

The comptroller gave this advice while decorating the seven officers during a parade held at the headquarters of the command in Osogbo on Thursday.

He said whoever was seen to be committed to discharge their duties excellently will not be excluded from being promoted.

Onunwor said, “With the express permission of the comptroller general, you are today decorated with your new ranks. It is important  to state that these new ranks you are wearing did not come by magic or by circumstance but by the hard work which you displayed through your character and discipline befitting para-military officers.

“In the years ahead, as you climb the ladder of this service, you will be assigned with tasks that will challenge your new ranks. At that point your ability to rise up to the tasks will determine whether you are qualified to go higher or not.”

He urged them to always show their preparedness to serve the nation  and to move forward the NIS while advising them to be loyal and patriotic citizens of Nigeria.

The Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in Osun State, Mr. Tajudeen Balogun, and the Deputy Comptroller, Nigeria Prisons  Service, Mr. Stephen Badmus, also advised the promoted officers to continue to work hard to justify their new ranks.

Among the newly promoted officers were the Public Relations Officer of the command, Mrs. Maureen Famuyide, who was promoted from Assistant Superintendent of Immigration 1 to Deputy Superintendent of Immigration 1  and Opeyemi Olaregun who was promoted from ASI (2) to ASI (1).

Famuyide thanked the NIS for giving her and other newly promoted officers the opportunities to serve while pledging their commitment to work harder to move the service forward.
She said they were aware that promotion was about  quality service which she assured they were ready to give to move the nation forward.
