The Nigeria Immigration Service(NIS) has directed the immediate setting up of diaspora desks in all the International airports in the country in order to have a seamless passport process for all Nigerians coming home during the yuletide period and may be desirous of processing their passports.
The Comptroller General of the Service Isah Idris gave this directive on Monday, according to a statement by Anthony Akuneme, spokespeople of the service.
The comptroller general also directed passport offices across the country to give priority attention to citizens living outside the country and their families explaining that most of them have specific time of returning to their countries of residence.
