The Comptroller-General, Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, Muhammad Babandede, has called on the Federal Government to put a stop to the Public-Private Partnership, PPP, used for the Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, of the service.
Babandede made the call during the 2021 budget defence organized by the Senate Committee on Interior.
The Comptroller-General further stated that the partnership was only draining government’s revenue.
Members of the Committee, however, promised to ensure adequate funding for the NIS as the NIS 2021 budget estimate of N72, 849, 449, 252 is insufficient.
