Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS,
has commenced massive issuance of international passports to intending
travellers to clear the backlog of applications caused by non-availability of
booklets.
Reports say the NIS recently took
delivery of new passport booklets which were distributed to all passport
offices nationwide.
Meanwhile, passport officers have
been directed to extend their working hours to 2 p.m. on Saturdays in order to
clear the backlog of passport applications.
Reacting to the recent developments,
an applicant at Ikoyi Passport Office, Adele Yussuf, expressed delight at the
way the NIS was handling the processing passport applications.
