The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced a system upgrade on its passport portal, which will affect applicants within Nigeria. This maintenance is designed to enhance the service and improve the user experience. The upgrade process is expected to take about 72 hours, during which the portal will be inaccessible for domestic applications. However, applicants outside Nigeria will be able to continue using the service without interruption.
Commitment to Efficient Service
In a statement shared on their official X page, the NIS reassured the public that a dedicated team is working hard to complete the upgrade promptly. They expressed gratitude for the public’s understanding during this temporary disruption and emphasized their ongoing commitment to providing efficient services to all Nigerians. The agency is determined to restore full access to the portal as soon as possible.
Relevance to Nigerian Citizens
This upgrade is particularly relevant as it reflects the NIS’s efforts to modernize its systems amid increasing demand for passport services in Nigeria. By improving the portal, the NIS aims to streamline processes and reduce application wait times, ultimately enhancing the overall experience for applicants. As more Nigerians seek to travel and engage globally, a reliable and efficient passport processing system is crucial for facilitating their needs.
