Thoughtless and irresponsible spending and diversion of immigration service’s funds using every possible means have heightened in the Nigeria Immigration Service NIS, under the watch of the current CG Kemi Nanna Nandap. This time, the Comptroller GeneraL has allegedly spent a whopping sum of N76,870,573 in procuring vehicles for the movement of dogs attached to her office. Another frivolous and fraudulent payment was the payment of N42,887,500 paid to Network Solutions and Investment Limited for the provision of free-livechat on the Immigration website. Not only that livechats are mostly provided for free, but a premium charge also costs less than US$20/month, thus wasting N42,887,500 by the current leadership of Nigeria Immigration.
According to the findings on Govspend, CG Kemi paid the said sum of N76,870,573 to Metropolitan Limited the sum of N62,669,362.78 on the 20th of May, 2024 and another N15,201,170 on the 26th of May, 2024 via payment Numbers 1001182589-5 and 1001184474.24 respectively for provision of vehicle for conveying dogs.
Other suspicious payments include the sum of N42,887,500 paid to Network Solutions and Investment Limited via payment No 1001161522-5 for provision of a service that is offered free of charge on the web. A simple check on the costs of integrating livechat on the website revealed that it costs less than US$20/month for a premium package. Above all, one begins to wonder why the said amount has to be spent since the existing site has a livechat onit.
Another suspiciously fraudulent payment was the one made to Ike Global Agro-Farm Limited, a purely agro-allied company to provide light at the CIS residence in Imo State. This gulped a total sum of N16,943,723.69 via payment No. 16001151299-112.
Series of fraudulent payments have continued to be made under CG Kemi watch. A discreet source that spoke to LeadingReporters on condition of anonymity revealed that the CG is in a spending-spree as a way of raking in as much money as she could before her retirement. The source said that over 40% of payments processed and paid by Nigeria Immigration Service are hoax and simple ways of stealing from the service’s treasury.
CG Kemi, whose tenure in office has elapsed is believed to be in her last spending spree, a move the source said is to enable her rake in as much as she could before she lives the service.
