Nigeria Immigration Service Extends Passport Intervention in UK

The Nigeria Immigration Service has extended its special passport intervention exercise in the UK until October 3. The decision comes after a high turnout in London and Manchester, where 1,477 Nigerians have enrolled for the service. The intervention aims to provide Nigerians in the UK with an opportunity to obtain or renew their passports without having to travel to Nigeria. The service has been well-received, with many Nigerians taking advantage of the convenience it offers. The extension is expected to allow more Nigerians to participate in the exercise. The Nigeria Immigration Service has not disclosed the reasons behind the extension, but it is likely to be due to the high demand for the service. The intervention is part of the service's efforts to improve passport issuance and reduce the backlog of applications. The service has been working to increase the efficiency of its operations and provide better services to Nigerians abroad.
