The Federal Government, through the Nigeria Immigration Service
(NIS), has revoked the resident permit of expatriate staff of six companies
operating in the country over what the country considers shady and unclean
manner they are conducting themselves around and in doing business in Nigeria.
The companies
as identified by Mr. Sunday James, the spokesperson for NIS, are, INTELS Nig.
Ltd., PRODECO International Ltd., West Africa Machinery Services Ltd., Net
Global System International Ltd., MGM Logistics Solutions Ltd., and ORIEAN
Investment Ltd.
He said the
action was in exercise of the powers vested on the Comptroller-General in section
39 subsection 1 of the Immigration Act 2015 and section 5, subsection 5 of the
Immigration Regulation 2017.
The
sections empower the NIS to revoke the resident permit of expatriate workers of
companies whose operational licenses are withdrawn by the Oil and Gas Free
Zones Authority.
Consequently,
Babandede has directed that the expatriate staff of the affected companies
above leave Nigeria not later than Nov. 30, 2017, as they might be recommended
to the Honourable Minister of Interior for deportation should they fail to
leave the country as directed by the CGI.
