Nigeria Immigration Service has adopted measures for efficient passport administration, including deployment of Assistant Comptrollers General to some zonal offices with higher number of unclaimed passports with a view to ramping up the collection of over 100,000 unclaimed passports nationwide.
He also said the mandate of the senior officers was to locate the applicants and ensure they pick up the unclaimed passports. To further assist the applicants, he enjoined passport applicants to always check their application status by using any of the numerous channels which the NIS has provided, including the Passport Application Tracking solution , notice boards at the Passport Offices and the NIS website for regular updates.
The CGI said in some cases, the third parties used their own contact details, while majority of the applicants neither verified nor double-checked the information supplied. Recall that the Federal Ministry of Interior and NIS recently rolled out some initiatives to make less cumbersome obtaining and renewing of the official document, including a six-week timeframe to apply and get the new enhanced e-Passport for fresh applicants and three weeks for re-issuance.
