Dear Member,

I'm surprised that no one has brought up this issue or notified this community on the irresponsibility of the Nigerian immigration service precisely their passport issuance office.

I have been hearing from multiple reliable sources that the Nigerian immigration passport issuance office has been accepting application for the 32 page passport through their website and state offices while there are no availability of the 32 page booklet. Why accept and collect money when the "product" is not available?

Many complainant that went online to follow through with their online application said that no warning or notice was displayed concerning non-availability. Rather they let the application pass through to the payment page where payment is then collected.

Many people including but not limited to students that are due to resume in U.K., U.S. and Canada for October and January semesters are stranded waiting for passport issuance. If they can't issue 32 page passport and it's taking them over 3 months to print a common booklet then they should ask those that pay for 32 pages to pay the difference in fee and upgrade their application to the 64 page passport rather than keep them waiting or do they expect them to come and pay another fee? They are really taking citizens for granted.

My advice to any one looking to apply for the 32 page passport is DO NOT try it! They will just collect payment and then tell you they ran out of stock.

Welcome to naija my dear.

I was not directly affected. A friend of mine was affected that's why I posted here. I was informed that they want you to bribe them before they issue it to you (This may be the case in some states). Go to their office, tell them you need it urgently and ask them how they can help you, you will probably be shocked at their response.

This country is so corrupt.
