The
Immigration boss Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, (NIS)
Muhammad Babandede reminded applicants to always get their breeder documents
such as birth certificate, age declaration, certified guarantor’s forms from
the right sources to avoid delay in the processing of their passports.
Babandede said that the
time line for processing of passports remained 72hours and therefore, expected
every Passport office to conform to the policy forthwith.
Babandede gave the
directive on Monday in Abuja at a meeting with senior management staff of the
NIS.
The boss also directed all
Passport Issuing Desks in Nigeria’s Foreign Missions to do the same. He warned that failure to comply with the
directive would be interpreted to mean the officer is incompetent and will
therefore be removed.
He also inaugurated a
committee that will configure the NIS Passport platform.
Babandede said the move was
to enable State Passport Offices re-issue passports to applicants who want to
change their data on account of marriage or due to loss of previous ones.
“With this development,
such category of applicants will need not to travel to Abuja to effect any
change in their travel documents but go to the state offices they reside in to
do it,” he said. He said that the
committee has been given two months to complete the configuration.

Could you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time?
