President Bola Tinubu has approved lifetime salaries for retired senior officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service, including Comptrollers-General and Deputy Comptrollers-General, according to reports citing the Interior Minister.
Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Nigeria’s Minister of Interior, is quoted as saying the approval forms part of an effort to build long-lasting support systems for officials after retirement. Vanguard highlights Tunji-Ojo’s description of the move as part of the “Renewed Hope” agenda, positioning it as a policy designed to remain effective beyond the current administration. Other coverage similarly focuses on the lifetime pay approval but centres on the administrative decision itself, as announced through the minister’s comments.
Across the outlets, there is no additional detail on implementation dates, eligibility criteria beyond the specified ranks, or the funding source in the information provided. The reports agree that the decision relates specifically to top immigration leadership roles and applies to those already retired.
