The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has reiterated its commitment to safeguard the integrity of the Nigerian Passport, assuring Nigerians that services have not been suspended despite the recent migration of additional passport branches to the Central Personalisation Centre.
Tripod Times reports that the Service, In a post on X on Wednesday, said the migration was a deliberate administrative improvement to passport production and security, rather than disruption of operations.
“The recent migration of additional passport branches to the Central Personalisation Centre is a strategic administrative enhancement, rather than a suspension of services,” the NIS said.
It allayed the fears of applicants over service disruptions, encouraging those applying for passports to visit designated passport offices nationwide for biometric capturing.
“Applicants can still visit their local centres to complete biometric data capture seamlessly. This centralised production framework is designed to align with global security standards, streamline processing timelines, and significantly safeguard the integrity of the Nigerian passport,” the service stated.
It emphasised that capturing centres are fully operational and that the production and distribution of passport booklets are continuing as stipulated in record time.
