One of the challenges with government parastatals is that they take a lot of time to access. To access them, we usually have to stay in long queues and sometimes we encounter rude government workers.
The Nigerian immigration services are no exception to the fact discussed in the introductory paragraph. I myself have had my own fair share. Chances that you will meet over 50 people in the immigration office aren’t very rare, hence you will have to queue and may experience a long waiting time. Thankfully, the Government in conjunction with the Ministry of Interior has made efforts towards easing the process.
Nigerians who desire to get new passports or get their passports renewed, no longer have to visit the immigration offices for all the steps, as they can now shorten their number of visits when they utilize the Nigerian immigration website. The steps will be outlined in this comprehensive tutorial that teaches how to apply for Nigerian passports online.
