The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), has said that it has begun the distribution and release of international passports nationwide to applicants following the gradual easing up of movement restriction by the federal government.
In a communique signed by the public relations officer of the NIS, Sunday James yesterday, gradual resumption of activities involving the public such as the issuance of passports to those who were captured before the lockdown is strictly by invitation from passports officers.
It also states that In order to clear the backlog, giving credence to improved service delivery and satisfaction, those whose passports are ready for pick-up would be invited through Short Messages Service (SMS), to come and get the document, therefore, admittance into the passport premises is strictly by invitation.
