Ekiti State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Dr
Kayode Fayemi, has applauded the outgoing Comptroller of Immigration
Services in Ekiti State, Mrs Dibia Ifeoma for her contribution towards
the advancement of immigration Services in the State.
Dr Fayemi gave the commendation on Friday after being conducted round
the new office complex of the establishment in Ado Ekiti.
The Governor, who also visited the new flag house of the
establishment, described Mrs Dibia’s achievements as ‘significant
landmarks’ for which she would always be remembered.
Dr Fayemi thanked Comptroller Dibia, who would retire next month, for
contributing her quota to the development of Ekiti and for displaying
a deep sense of commitment, passion and love for the advancement of
immigration services in the State.
He said: “Within the limited period she has been Comptroller in Ekiti
State, she has put significant land marks in the State, this is the
first of its kind in the whole of Ekiti State, and she also managed to
build a flag house, and a divisional office at Ise-Orun, and another
one is coming up in Oye.
“So you can see that there is every reason I should come, because
she’s on her way out of our State, this is her last assignment in
Immigration services. We are very grateful for her commitment, her
passion and her love for Ekiti.”
Comptroller Dibia, who was full of gratitude to the Comptroller
General of Nigeria Immigration Services, Mohammed Babade and the
Governor of Ekiti State, said it was the cordial relationship between
the duo that facilitated the supports she got in executing the various
projects she carried out during her stay in the State.
She mentioned that her administration was able to build an office
complex, which she described as the first in Southwest.
The Ekiti Immigration boss added that she was able to put up a five
bedroom self-contain apartment for divisional Officers at Ise-Orun and
also secure a fenced land for the divisional office at
Irepodun-Ifelodun local government of the State.
Explaining the motive behind the visit of Dr Fayemi to those projects,
she said; I am retiring next month and I think I have to report to His
Excellency the same way I reported when I was posted to Ekiti. And
before I leave, I also want him to see the structures I have been able
to put up within the period I kept here and that was what prompted his
coming, because I will not be here again when the projects would be
commissioned.
“His Excellency, Dr Kayode Fayemi has a good working relationship with
the Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Services, I am sure
that is why we got a lot of things in Ekiti State”, she added.
