Why withhold people's passport? Why not advise them to quarantine and check on them every other day visa phone calls or emails to all how they are feeling?

Exactly. This is what they should have done all this while. After 2 weeks they come for test. If negative their passport will be returned.
All which while?
Which airport?

What about a situation where the overall stay of the passenger in the country is not up to their proposed 14 days isolation period.

They should think of something else jare. They want to open another office to drain people as usual, either you will have to pay to collect the passport or you will hear "sorry we can't find your passport, you need to pay for another one".

What about foreign passports, how will you pay to get another one.

Handling collection of newly issued passports had always been a problem, how much more this one? I wonder why they keep doing things in an archaic manner angry

Just tire for Niaja.

first why are diplomats excluded from same treatment?

What has withholding the travellers passport got to solve here?

Nigeria has got no database, so how do they track the passports.. drop off & pickup? I see lots of missing passports cases and exploitation from immigration officers.

Secondly why do they have to travel 72hrs after,?exposing other citizens if they are asymptomatic. Why can't they rerun the 2nd test in their residence state instead of going to Lagos or Abuja.

This is a no no arrangement.

Why can't this government think through and implement guidelines with some senses?
