The Federal Government on Wednesday announced a two-week deadline for the issuance of passports in the country.
The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, announced the timeline in Abuja while briefing journalists on his earlier directive to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to clear more than 204,000 backlogs of passport applications.
He apologised to Nigerians that clearance of the backlog had spilled into three weeks as opposed to the two-week deadline he gave the NIS last month.
