Lagos Gets Third Passport Office by jason123: 2:13am On Sep 11, 2011 |
National Security: Fashola tasks Immigration By Foluso Ajibulu Against the backdrop of recent security challenges in the country, Lagos State governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), has urged the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to rise up to the occasion by contributing meaningfully to the security of the country. Fashola, who spoke at the Lagos House while hosting the Comptroller of the NIS, Lagos State Command, Mr. Abbas Ahmed, who paid him a courtesy visit, said the Immigration Service, in its conception and by its territorial location, should be at the forefront of intelligence gathering in the current efforts to secure the country. He told the visiting Comptroller, “This is the time when you can, by your very clear action, demonstrate to Nigerians that you are more than an agency whose role is simply to issue passports. It will not be achieved simply by talking about it”. Congratulating the Comptroller on the NIS move to create a third passport office in Ikeja, the governor said his administration remains a willing and ready partner with the Immigration Service in its efforts and activities aimed at achieving security in Nigeria and Lagos State. Earlier, the Comptroller said the purpose of his visit was to register the appreciation of the NIS to the state government for its assistance and also to inform the governor of the creation of a new passport office (the third in Lagos) in Ikeja. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/09/national-security-fashola-tasks-immigration/ 1 Like |

@Mbatuku1 have you ever heard of the word EFFICIENCY. Even if Lagos State were to have only One Immigration / Passport Office, you simply can not stop the number of persons that want to get an International Passport, 1000 will surely remain 1000 persons, nothing less. But it will increase queue, overwork the Staffs thereby encouraging further corruption because most people cant go through the queue rather bribing some officers to get theirs done faster, which somebody like you will eventually COMPLAIN But with 3 Passport Office, Increases Efficiency, eliminate queue and reduces corruption. so think before you pour out those things in your mouth. You dont need to show us how d*** you are here, we all know |

Some people are born-pessimists and will never see anything good in what anyone or group does. They only think of the negative. It's good sometimes because it awakens those who are in the 'dream land,' while at other times, it's just disgusting the way these set of people think. |

This is not new, Lagos used to have 3 passport offices. The one in ikeja around PWD and Lagos old secretariat in Ikeja GRA was closed down a few years ago. i guess they are just reopening the ikeja passport office. I hope this will result in more efficiency. |
