Retired Immigration Chief Tasks Personnel On Patriotism

The retired deputy controller general of Immigration (NIS), Hajia Sadat Hassan, has charged officers and men of the service to always demonstrate acts of patriotism in the discharge of duties.

Hassan reminded the officers that the fact that they are law enforcement agents does not place them above the country.

Rather, she said they must always subject themselves to service rules, irrespective of the beats they were deployed to serve.

Hassan spoke at a pull-out ceremony held in her honour by the Kwara State Command of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) at the command’s annexe office at the Federal Secretariat, Ilorin on Saturday where a book in her honour titled “The Silent Amazon: Sadat Hassan; Life Of A Compassionate Officer” was unveiled.

She thanked President Bola Tinubu, the comptroller-general of Immigration Service, Mrs Caroline Adepoju and the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for the support they accorded her while in the service.
In his book review, a professor of political science at the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Hassan Salihu, described the honour as a model worthy of emulation by the young generation.
