A statement today by the Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), Bayo Onanuga disclosed that Mrs. Nandap, who began her career in the Nigeria Immigration Service on October 9, 1989, was initially appointed as Comptroller-General on March 1, 2024, with a tenure set to last until August 31, 2025.
