The Nigeria Immigration service (NIS) has urged Nigerians to stop giving money to officers when applying for an international passport. According to NIS, it is not only criminal on the part of the applicants but also wrong for officers to demand money to facilitate the process.

In an exclusive interview with legit.ng, Amos Okpu, the public relations officer of NIS confirmed that a 32 pages international passport will cost only N26,000. Nigerians urged to stop bribing officers for international passport .

Okpu confirmed the steps while adding NIS remains one of the foremost agencies that embraced online applications and payment processes long ago. He said: “For instance, applications and payment for Passports are expected to be made via passport.immigration.gov.ng by the applicants themselves. “This is intended to eliminate all forms of cash transactions and also simplify the process across our offices. I must note that we don’t yet have a perfect system but we constantly request our people to endeavor to follow the process we have emplaced. We also expect our people to make conscious efforts to plan their travels well ahead of time to avoid last minute rush.”
