Nigeria Immigration Service Will Issue Passports within 30 Minutes in 2014

0

The Nigeria Immigration Service has announced that as from next year, all applicants for the Nigerian passport will get it within 30 minutes.

This new development was disclosed yesterday by the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, who said the move would help eliminate corruption in the ministry.

He said it was also a part of the re-branding of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has witnessed series of changes since it was extracted from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in 1958.

The Immigration Department, as it was known then, was entrusted with the core immigration duties under the headship of the Chief Federal Immigration Officer (CFIO).

The department in its emergent stage inherited the Immigration Ordinance of 1958 for its operation.

At inception, the department had a narrow operational scope and maintained a low profile and simple approach in attaining the desired goals and objectives of the government.

During this period, only the Visa and Business Sections were set up.
