Nigerian Passport Booklets
The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), has decried non collection of passports by applicants in the country, saying 107, 646 produced passports are awaiting collection.
This is just as it appealed to applicants whose passports have been produced to go for pick-ups at the various Passports Issuing Centres across the country.
Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Kemi Nanna Nandap in a statement on Friday by the Service Spokesman, Kenneth Udo, said: “However, efforts made at reaching out to the owners have proved abortive.”
She therefore advised applicants to always provide verifiable addresses and phone numbers when filling their online passport application forms for easy contact.
Consequently, the CG directed that all Passport Offices in Lagos should operate on Saturdays between 9am – 2pm to attend to applicants coming for the collection of their produced passports only.
“Therefore, those concerned are hereby informed to take advantage of this opportunity,” the statement added.
