In a notable tribute to a key institutional partner, the American University of Nigeria (AUN), on Monday, December 15, 2025, joined stakeholders in celebrating the distinguished career of Comptroller Ibrahim Mohammed of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).
The Adamawa State Command of the NIS held a colorful pull-out parade at its Command Headquarters on Numan Road to honor Comptroller Mohammed upon his retirement. The ceremony, attended by senior officers, colleagues, family members, and institutional partners, highlighted his decades of dedication to national security and border management.
Representing the AUN President, the Vice President for Administration and Registrar, Daniel Okereke, delivered a special commendation in recognition of the Comptroller’s service and long-standing partnership. “On behalf of the entire AUN community, we celebrate a true partner,” Okereke said. “Your distinguished service reflects years of professionalism and steadfast commitment to public service.”
As Sub-Saharan Africa’s first development university, AUN relies on a vibrant international academic community, making collaboration with the Nigeria Immigration Service both strategic and essential. Over the years, the university has worked closely with the Adamawa State Command on residency facilitation, expatriate documentation, and regulatory compliance under Comptroller Mohammed’s leadership.
Monica Adama, AUN’s Assistant Director of Human Resources and Immigration Desk Officer, described the Comptroller as consistently accessible and solution-oriented. “He transformed what can often be a challenging bureaucratic process into a model of efficiency and respect,” Adama said. “That reliability has been invaluable to our multicultural campus.”
Tributes throughout the event highlighted Comptroller Ibrahim Mohammed’s integrity, calm leadership, and commitment to service
