See Why NIS Mandated All Officers To Undergo Drug Tests

….Graduates 509 Officers

The Nigeria Immigration Service has mandated all its officers to undergo drug tests to ensure proper handling of weapons.

The Comptroller General of the NIS, Mr Muhammad Babandede, disclosed this in a statement by the Service Public Relations Officer, Mr Sunday James, on Saturday in Abuja.

He warned officers and men to be cautious in the use of weapons in the course of duty.

“We cannot afford to be careless with weapon, hence, all officers of the service will undergo drug test beginning with me. We shall not dismiss anyone at first discovery but we would try to rehabilitate.

“However, if the fellow continued unrepentant, administrative procedures will be followed and appropriate sanctions applied,” he said.
