“The honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has decided that you should be re-assigned to the Passport Office as the Director of Passports with effect from Monday, 19th August, 2024.
“You are, therefore, requested to take steps to undergo the required handing over process to enable you assume duty,” the letter reportedly from the Ministry read in parts.
