In this article, I will give you the complete guide on this year’s immigration recruitment service and how to properly apply. If I may ask you a simple Immigration interview question, What is Nigerian Immigration Service and what do you really know about it?

According to Wikipedia, the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) was extracted from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in August, 1958. It was at that time referred to as the Immigration Department and headed by the Chief Federal Immigration Officer (CFIO).

The Immigration Department was established by an Act of Parliament (Cap 171, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria) on August 1, 1963 when Alhaji Shehu Shagari was the Minister of Internal Affairs (a position now referred to as Minister of Interior).
