Nigerian Immigration Officers Abroad Struggle With Unpaid Allowances, Face Hardships
Nigerian Immigration Officers Abroad Struggle With Unpaid Allowances, Face Hardships....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) officers on foreign missions have voiced their struggles over the non-payment of their allowances since December last year. The officers, who spoke anonymously with Daily Trust, revealed that while their October and November 2023 allowances were eventually paid in March, they have not received any further payments, leading to severe hardships…….CONTINUE READING
The allowances, which include housing, health, and utility expenses, are crucial for the officers, especially given the high cost of living in foreign countries. One officer highlighted that rent abroad is typically paid monthly, unlike in Nigeria where it is paid yearly, with monthly rents often exceeding $2,000. This financial burden has been exacerbated for those living abroad with their families, a requirement intended to ensure their full commitment to their duties.
The situation has left many officers struggling to cope with basic responsibilities such as feeding, education, and other family necessities. “Things are more expensive in many countries than in Nigeria,” one officer noted, emphasizing the financial strain they are under.
Adding to their frustration, the NIS’s decision to prioritize payments for only two missions has left many officers in other countries without their due allowances. This selective payment approach is seen as problematic, undermining the financial stability of many attachés and potentially causing embarrassment for the officers and the nation.
One officer explained the critical role they play in facilitating visas, supporting the Nigerian government’s ease of doing business agenda, and assisting Nigerians abroad with services such as passport renewals. The non-payment of allowances, he argued, not only hampers their ability to perform these essential duties but also risks tarnishing Nigeria’s reputation.
The officers stressed the importance of resolving these payment issues to avoid further hardships and embarrassment. Ensuring the timely and complete payment of allowances is crucial for maintaining the effective operation of the missions and supporting the officers who represent Nigeria abroad.

Do Not Erase El-Rufai’s Role In Your 2023 Election Victory – Onoh Tells Tinubu.
Denge Josef Onoh, the former Southeast spokesman for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to embrace statesmanship and prioritize reconciliation regarding the situation of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an open letter dated September 24, 2026, and addressed to President Tinubu through Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, Onoh emphasized that El-Rufai’s foundational contributions to the APC and the 2023 presidential campaign must not be forgotten. Highlighting El-Rufai’s instrumental role in securing Tinubu’s historic election victory, Onoh stated: “We cannot quickly erase from our memories the immense, foundational role Mallam El-Rufai played in ensuring the victory of the All Progressives Congress and your historic election in 2023.”
While describing El-Rufai as rigid, intensely opinionated, and notoriously difficult to work with, Onoh noted that these same traits reflected his deep loyalty once committed to a cause. He expressed concern that some of the former governor’s associates had distanced themselves due to political considerations, but stressed that he was unwilling to remain silent.
Drawing from history, Onoh urged Tinubu to follow examples of political reconciliation, such as Julius Caesar’s clemency and former President Shehu Shagari’s 1982 pardon of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, to demonstrate that mercy and unity can heal political divisions. He argued that presidential intervention would display profound political maturity rather than weakness, warning that leaving a key architect of the current democratic dispensation isolated risks deepening national fractures.
Concluding his appeal, Onoh urged the President to choose compassion over confinement and reconciliation over retribution, ensuring the situation fosters national healing instead of division. “Please, let us get value out of this. It matters,” he added.
