So I decided to renew my international passport at the immigration office over here in ilorin at the headquarter and found out that there was an error on my international passport. The name on my international passport does not match the name shown on NIN. I was told to go to Abuja just to rectify the name on my international passport to match with the name on my NIN. I was really disappointed.
How can I travel to Abuja to correct the name on my international passport to match my NIN? Traveling to Abuja is very dangerous due to high kidnapping rates. We have developed as a nation. Nigeria’s immigration system does not work to make life easier for its citizens. How long can we continue to keep everything centered around Abuja?

I hope this gets forwarded to the appropriate authorities. Please ensure that Nigerian immigrants have this channel not only in Abuja but across the country. Nairalands, if you have experienced a similar issue, please share.

I learnt that, the only person that is given the authority to make changes to name and date of birth is just one man heading the NIN.

I don't know why Nigeria will not allow people to make changes to it's data. Why should a person pay money to change his date of birth and name or anything.

The last time I experienced issues with my BVN, I noticed that my address on the BVN is the address I used while schooling in the university. The last time I spoke with my landlady, the compound was demolished and a road was carved from it. The address is non-existing. But it's on my BVN details.

In US, you can stay at the comfort of your house and make changes to your details after applying for it and an email will be sent to you with a link to make corrections.

It's getting more and more frustrating. We hope this issue is resolved as soon as possible. It's been a month now and the problem is still not resolved.
