Nice place and good service
It is really disappointing that a citizen of Nigeria have to wait upto 6 weeks to get a standard passport, simply because he didn't pay for express or perhaps he did not go through any of the Immigration officials to get ripped off. I went through many officials and the prices they gave to me was outrageous until I had to go do it myself via online. Despite that, when I went to the immigration passport office on appointment date, one of them told me to submit the file with 5k. Can you imagine? With that seriousness on his face, I asked him if I would get a receipt for that and he said no. Immediately, I flagged it and asked him why. He replied that it is the management system, oh my God. Until I raised my voice that was when a female among them called me and spoke to me politely and eventually told me that I do not have to pay anything except if i want to give willingly. I also noticed that they have this culture that before they would engage in any illegal act, they must remove their name tag. Because when I profiled that man, his name tag was missing. What exactly is going on in this country? Why is corruption unbeatable? The government had set 50k for 32 page of 5 yrs and 100k for 64 page of 10 yrs. What is the difference between express and standard? Why do they keep categorising and differentiating and creating classes? I have noticed that unless you went through an immigration official to negotiate price for your passport or that you paid for express, you would have to wait for eternity to get your passport for going through the legitimate channel provided by the Federal government of Nigeria. Anything more that 2 to 3 weeks to get someone's passport ready is discriminatory and unacceptable.
The office was bustling as usual especially since passports are now supposed to be applied for online. Despite the small and cramped space, I was able to get assistance without any issues.
The immigration office and it's environs is quite very busy due to the large number of persons processing their passports. 1. The waiting space only accommodates 30% of the crowd 70% stand under the sun 2. There are no CCTV cameras within and outside the building 3. Despite, their crowd control is 70% efficient
The staff have made a lot of effort to improve one's experience by ensuring various services are organised as quickly and efficiently as possible. The location is very accessible but parking is inadequate.
