Nigeria Suspends Passport Application
Nigeria: more people are applying for passports than the government can process! How many people are in that country? To all those affected by this paralysis, I feel like apologizing on behalf of Nigeria. Yet, there is something to be hopeful for: the minister is evidently working towards a lasting solution. Let us continue to believe. I personally commend the Honourable Minister for the transparency and constant updates on this. While he is yet to bring the bacon home, we need to appreciate that he is making efforts to explain things.
"The Minister of Interior Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has directed the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), to halt application of new or renewal of passports nationwide until June 1, 2021. The directive was contained in a circular sent to all NIS offices nationwide, signed by Deputy Comptroller General (PTD) AB Yarima on behalf of Comptroller General of Immigration Service."
