Recently, Nigeria Immigration Service profoundly stated that for people doing data correction on their passport, you can do it online from their site, and also do capturing from any Immigration office in your locality and not necessarily going to Abuja.

I applied for correction of my name, date of birth and reissuance of my expired passport. It was seemless on immigration site. I made payment online totalling N65,000.00. I was instructed to go to PH immigration centre for capturing.

To my greatest surprise, those immigration officers that use to vet documents are asking me to pay the sum of N105,000.00 for my request to be processed. They said my folder will need to be approved by their controller and sent to Abuja for another approval or so, hence the need to make the payment before they can proceed. I'm stunned.

Please who has experienced this and how was it surmounted?
