Nigerians living abroad are up in arms over ongoing delays in passport processing and National Identification Number (NIN) issuance, with many facing frustrating wait times and bureaucratic hurdles. Frustrated citizens are calling on the government to fix the issues, citing difficulties in traveling, accessing services, and proving identity.
The Nigeria Immigration Service and National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) have been criticized for slow processing times, technical glitches, and poor communication. Nigerians in the US, UK, Canada, and other countries report months-long waits for passport renewals and NIN registration, disrupting lives and livelihoods.
Activists are petitioning authorities, demanding streamlined processes, increased staffing, and transparency on application status. The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has acknowledged concerns, promising to escalate the issues to relevant agencies for resolution.
