The Comptroller-General of Nigeria Immigration Service (CGI), Mrs Caroline Adepoju, has assured Nigerians that they would get their passports within three weeks of submitting their applications.
Adepoju gave the assurance while inaugurating a new passport office in Igbogbo community in Ikorodu, Lagos State on Friday.
Adepoju said passports would now be processed and issued speedily provided applicants submit all the required details in their applications.
She said it is crucial that all applicants register using the same information as the National Identity Management Commission(NIMC) since national identity numbers are connected to passports,
“People who are applying for our passport must have similar details with which they are applying for the passport on their national identity numbers because the Nigerian passport has the national identity number on it.
“So, if there are no issues, within three weeks, you must get your passport, from application to the production of the passport,” Adepoju added.
