Again, NIS Postpones Passport Application

Category: Nigeria News

The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammad Babandede, has announced a new date for the application of passport.

According to the NIS, applications for passports will now commence on June 8 as against the earlier scheduled date of June 1.

A statement from the new spokesman of the Service Amos Okpu confirmed the decision of the comptroller general in Abuja on Tuesday.

The NIS explained that issuing centres are being congested by crowds who want to collect their passport, noting that the surge was making compliance to COVID-19 protocols difficult.

The federal government had last month announced the suspension of issuance of passports.
