Mr. Idris, who highlighted this at a sensitisation session on Mitigating Corruption and Improving Service Delivery recently organised by the Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS); stated that “Corruption must be stopped, as it undermines efficiency, reduces public trust and hampers the overall effectiveness of the immigration services.

Mr. Bage further stated that the detrimental impact of corruption on national security and public trust required participants’ active engagement in the sessions, emphasing that the lessons learned would help in their daily operations.
The ACTU NIS resource person, Mrs. Jamila Laura Dafiel, in her presentation, provided real-life examples and case studies to illustrate the pervasive nature of corruption and its far-reaching consequences.
