Kudos.

but have Nigerians not been applying for passports from the comfort of their homes before now?

Let them also liase with NIPOST to providing emailing service.

A NIPOST desk office can be positioned at all our passports offices, they can begin emailing immediately the passports are ready for collection.

Official corruption in our passports offices stinks to high heavens!

Applying for a Nigerian passport online from someone's home has been in existence for years. The only issue is that one has to go in person to a third party company located here on Parklawn road in Rockville Maryland for screening and they too charge. I think you still have to go the Embassy for biometric. I feel sorry for the Nigerians in diaspora where the Embassy or the third party is no where near their state of residence in the US.

Except if they added the biometric aspect. If not, I don’t see any new development here.
You could apply for passport online before now if you live in the US, but must go to the center for biometric.

na so una dull for this country grin grin grin

You can always apply for passport from the comfort of your home, na getting appointment to capture at the appropriate time be the main deal

Exactly! Nothing has changed. You still have to visit one useless Innovate website to make payment. Then book an appointment to give your biometrics (again) like you did 5 years ago. Like your finger prints will change. You'd be lucky if the appointment date you get is within the next 5 months.

Gbajue minister!

Until we see those served without collection of multiple bribes, till then.

Making promises is one thing, fulfilling it is another.

I think the yeye minister is just playing to the gallery without any hopes of fulfilling any promises.

I wonder what changed.
It's applied online. You pay online. Some extra charges even.
Then book appointment for your biometrics.

What's new here.

But I can say that these days, you receive your new passport in the shortest possible time

Maybe for the Japa people , not for quiet ,normal and sensible Nigerians .
Nazgul:
Most Nigerians in diaspora are more interested in getting the passport of their host country than that of Nigeria.

The government should make the process easier for Nigerians living in Nigeria cos they need it more than anything to kick start their Japa plans. Nigerians over there are perfectly fine.
