Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Nigeria’s Interior Minister today commissioned the Nigeria Immigration Service Passport Express Centre in Maitama, Abuja.
Today, I commissioned the Nigeria Immigration Service (@nigimmigration) Passport Express Centre, Maitama Abuja which is established in partnership with the private sector. It is a first of many more to be established and designed to offer specialized services to Nigerians.
…Where there are issues, the applicant must be notified within 48hrs.
Every Nigerian has the right to a Nigerian passport and it is our responsibility to put it in the hands of anyone desirous of it within the shortest possible time, without stress. The passport should be available in maximum of 72 hours of a successful application.
It will also afford Nigerians the opportunity of getting their Passports within 24hrs, at the high premium service & 72hrs at the ordinary premium service, albeit with added value and a little bit of extra cost.
A centre like this is necessary to reduce stress. Secondly, by minimising human contact, it eliminates the prospect of corruption.
The commencement of the operations of this world class facility will not only offer Nigerians services of convenience and pleasure by taking away the hitherto stress in the conventional passport offices.
I must be quick to add that these feats wouldn’t have been achievable without the unwavering support and sterling leadership of President Buhari who has supported the ministry and especially the NIS. My thanks and admiration of him is therefore without reservation.
