Compliance Follow-up Review of the Inspection of Embassy Abuja and Consulate General Lagos, Nigeria (ISP-C-03-28)
Embassy Abuja and Consulate General Lagos have turned in a mixed performance in addressing most of the problems contained in OIG's 2002 inspection of the post. For example, compliance in the consular area (almost entirely involving the consular section at Consulate General Lagos) was very good. Only one consular recommendation requiring the mission's action now remains open. Compliance in the administrative area was sufficient to permit OIG to close four recommendations outright and reissue or modify six others. However, the recommendations requiring action by mission management will require more work.
OIG made a net total of 14 compliance follow-up review recommendations. OIG made recommendations to improve supervision and communication between mission management and staff. Other recommendations covered developing a systematic approach to the ongoing transition of the embassy from Lagos to Abuja and rationalizing space use and staffing levels.
