The Federal Government has announced that the 2024 promotion exercise for the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), and Federal Fire Service (FFS) will be completed in September.

“Before the end of September 2024, the promotion exercise will be completed,” he said, assuring that all those who merited promotion would receive it.
