President Goodluck Jonathan has relieved Mrs. Rosemary Chinyere Uzoma of her duties as the Comptroller General of Immigration Service and has appointed Mr. Rilwan Bala Musa to replace her in acting capacity.

Musa's appointment was contained a statement signed by the Director/Secretary, Civil Defence, Fire Service, Immigration and Prisons Board (CDFIPB), Dr. K.R. Attahiru for the Minister of interior/ Chairman CDFIPB. Comrade Abba Moro. The latter, until this appoint was the most senior Deputy Comptroller of Immigration Service.
The statement signed on the minister's behalf, read thus: "I am directed to convey approval of His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Ebele, GCFR President, Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for you (Mrs. Rose Chinyere Uzoma) to proceed on your pre retirement accumulated leaves.

"I am to further convey that you are to hand over the duties and responsibilities of your office on or Wednesday, 16th January, 2013 to the most senior Deputy Comptroller General of Immigration in the person of Rilwan Bala Musa MNI, who will act as Comptroller General of Immigration pending the appointment of a substantive CG of Immigration.

"On behalf of the Hon. Minister of Interior and all members of the board, I wish to thank you for your service to Nigeria. The board wishes you good luck in your future endeavour. The statement by Dr. Attahiru concluded."

It would be recalled that Mrs. Uzoma, who was given the mantle of leadership of the Immigration service on July 30, 2010, was believed to have narrowly edged out Mr. Babajide Brown, an older Deputy Controller of the Service (DCG) in a closely fought battle for the position.

Sources close to the ousted Immigration boss say Uzoma, who was expected to enjoy three months terminal leave after attaining the mandatory retirement age of 60 years, had been dropped in national interest, after failing to execute a directive by the minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro to immediately cancel the result of an alleged controversial and scandalous recruitment exercise.

She probably recruited qualified people against the hellish quota system the ethnic/religious bigots often prefer . Or was there more to the allegations from Mallam Moro?

This is serious! Heard of the recruitment issue but didn't know that it would lead to her sack. What a shame!

Another lamp sacrificed on the altar of pleasing okoB.

Quit being an airhead, that recruitment process was a farce as places were sold weeks in advance while thousands of ordinary Nigerians were made to waste their resources battling for non existent positions. As far as I'm concerned, its good riddance.

Learnt she was a bit dubious with the would be recruitment before now...na wa ooo

So you have the facts ? You don't have to insult someone before writing your facts . Not a bright way of making points .

I guess she was ditched for the fake recruitment advert...or will i say signing of coveted offers for employment

Ignorance is a dangerous disease. Instead of feeling insulted, say thanks for the free education and understanding the poster gave you. Next time, research or educate yourself first before insulting people's intelligence with ignorance and backward talk.

Goodluck, Goodluck, Goodluck.... Patience your wife is not ok for you abi. Everyone is shouting for you to sack deziani and arunma otteh because they are corrupt, you have been defiant to heed to the cries of majority nigerians because you are hammering them. Now you are begging this woman too to taste her womanliness but she refused, what you will use to pay her is sack. Take it easy goodluck, stop looking at married women, there are so many young girls out there... My 2cents to you Gej

Its quite unusual for people to loose their jobs like this in Nigeria, but on a good day its enough reason for a sack, so thumbs up GEJ for standing up for applicants. Btw I hope thats the only reason for her sack.

. Look at the number of viewers and no comment do you know why THEY ARE AFFRAID OF INSULT FROM YOU AND YOUR FELLOW GOONS.

Welcome to Nigeria, This is a conspiracy by greedy people who were not satisfied by the number of slots given them. So none is a saint here.

Hmmm! Comment still loading....

Serves her right. She probably got drunk on her position, and forgot that she had superiors (The President and the Minister of Interior - in that order). I'm sure her sack has much to do with her insubordination, specifically with the disrespectful way she reacted to the Minister of Interior's order to cancel the recruitment process.

It's uunbelievable that a woman with her experience in the public service could be so reckless and tactless in her dealings with her boss. She ought to know better.

You are ignorant regarding this topic. Period.
