[8:41 AM, 5/21/2021] Jimi Disu: All Passport Issuing Centres have been directed to clear existing backlog of applications on or before 31st May, 2021.
To this effect requests for Fresh and/or Reissue shall not be entertained with effect from 18th May 2021-31st May 2021 in all Centres except for locations in the Missions abroad.
Notifications for collection of produced Passports are already going out to applicants who indicated functional phone numbers in their applications.
Meanwhile, a new Passport application and processing regime shall commence by 1st June 2021.
Critical features of the reform shall include the following:
*Applicants shall visit http://immigration.gov.ng to apply, pay&upload all the required documents for Passports;
*Book interview/appointment after a successful online application;
*That no applicant who have not booked online appointment shall be attended to;
*That no cash payment to anyone shall be entertained in any Issuing Centre;
*That Passport application processing and issuance shall take a period of Six weeks after a successful enrollment;
*That requests for reissue can be submitted Six Months before expiration.
Our Centres are working hard to resolve all backlog applications.
We therefore appeal to applicants who have been waiting for more understanding and assure that they’ll get their Passports soon.

[8:42 AM, 5/21/2021] Jimi Disu: My Dear compatriots,
This is not time to be watching:
Zee World,
Home Videos,
Football,
This is not the time for:
Point-and-kill fish,
Drinking out in the evenings
We are at War!
I suggest you devote more time for:
Intelligence Gathering,
Watching your steps,
Being more spiritual
And this is the time to suspect anything and everything.
Try to operate like the wind.
No more anything goes.
Change many things about you:
Avoid fixed routes.
* Your women friends could make you a soft Target.
*Avoid that your regular drinking joint
*Suspend free drinks and free offers.
*Lecture your wife, or husband and children about the period the dangerous times. Your family can be used as a ploy to track you down.
*Regulate your attendance to parties and owambes.
* Watch TV radio and be informed about your environment. Do not be cheap to get.
* Always have fuel in your car at home, especially at night for a quick getaway.
* Get phone numbers of your neighbours.
* Get a password codes between you and your spouse and kids. Like if want your kids to run away, they should be a code you all understand that your attackers cannot.
This is no time to be sitting on the wall. The times are strange and your security lies much more in your hand than in any Government or its agencies. A word is enough for the wise!
