He decorated six new Deputy Comptrollers-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) and two of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).

The minister directed the Immigration authority to stamp out all forms of corrupt practices in passport administration.
“You must live above board through display of professionalism, integrity, dedication and hard work for the betterment of the country,” he said.
