Important Info Regarding Nigerian Passport by eluquenson(m): 4:19pm On Jun 03, 2016
VERY IMPORTANT info regarding the Nigerian Passport. We recall that PMB recently sent the CG of NIS to the "coolers" & appointed a new one.

Babandede the new CG of NIS says he has instructed state commands to decentralize & reissue lost passport
& change of names. Gone are the days of travelling to Abuja, particularly newly married women who used to travel there for change of names.

Approval for replacement of lost passports shall henceforth be given by state comptrollers after online
vetting and processing of application at the Passport Division in the Service’s headquarters.

The 64 page e-passport costs N20,000, 32 page costs N15,000 (18-60yrs) while those below 18yrs and above 60 years cost N8, 750.

The official fees/categories of passports will henceforth be displayed at various passport offices to ensure transparency.

Nigerians are urged to insist on paying the official fees at the designated passport offices or pay online at the official immigration website to avoid exploitation by touts and agents.

Additional passport offices to be opened in state commands where the existing passport office is getting
overwhelmed with demand to ensure efficient service delivery.

Even if it is implemented, those immigration officers won't let it work, they are thieves they are the ones extorting the masses. These are many of the reasons why nigeria can't work at all!

Good news, they should also make plans to start re-issuing lost, stolen or damaged passports abroad.
