The Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has witnessed a change of leadership as Comptroller Olufunke Odusote, mnim officially assumed duty, succeeding Aliu Akadri.
Comptroller Odusote, warmly received with loud ovation by officers and staff of the command, brings a wealth of experience and a strong connection to the state, being an indigene of Ogun.
Her assumption of office marks a new chapter for the command, following her successful tenures as Comptroller at the Murtala Mohammed Airport Command and, most recently, at the NIS Osun State Command.
Odusote was deployed from the NIS headquarters in Abuja and has pledged to continue the commendable work of her predecessor.
In her address during the handover ceremony, she lauded Akadri’s efforts and called for collective support from personnel and stakeholders.
“As we all know, the government is a continuum. I am here to serve and to also lead exemplarily.
“Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Immigration Service has been doing wonderfully well in all spheres, as mandated by our Comptroller General of Immigration Service, Kemi Nana Nandap, a legacy which I and the entire members of the management staff will assiduously work to sustain and build upon,” Odusote affirmed.
Odusote’s arrival is expected to bolster ongoing initiatives in border security, migration management, and service delivery across the state, particularly given Ogun’s strategic position as a border state.
Stakeholders across the security and civil service sectors have expressed optimism about the new leadership, citing Odusote’s extensive experience and familiarity with the terrain as major assets.
