Yuletide: NIS establishes counters in international airports to expedite passport issuing

Respite may be in store for travelers as the Comptroller General of Immigration Service, CGIS Isah Jere Idris, has ordered the immediate establishment of Diaspora Desks in all of the country's international airports to ensure a smooth passport processing experience for all Nigerians returning home during this time who may be interested in doing so. According to DCI Anthony Akuneme, the Service Public Relations Officer, "CGIS has also directed passport offices across the country to give priority attention to such citizens living outside the country and their families bearing in mind that most of them have specific time of returning to their countries of residence." He claimed that the CGIS confirmed the Service's commitment to continuing to provide all Nigerians with effective and efficient service delivery.
