Prominently affected in the promotion exercise is the spokesperson of the Service, Mr Tony Akuneme who is now appointed as the Federal Capital (FCT) Command’s Comptroller, while Comptroller Joseph Dada became the new Principal Staff Officer to the Comptroller General.
This was contained in a letter signed by the Secretary of the Immigration, Civil Defense, Correctional and Fire Service Board, Alhaji Jafaru Ahmed.
According to the letter, the officers were elevated to their next ranks across the board.
The promoted personnel included senior officers who sat for the regular exams and the junior staff who were upgraded due to acquiring additional qualifications.
