The Immigration chief said passport offices across the country must ensure that all applicants “are served promptly and with dignity”.

“There should be no delay in any passport offices and no applicants or Nigerians must be put under any hideous task or maltreatment,” she ordered.

Adepoju added that her focus was on personnel welfare and passport issues because the two areas “have witnessed lots of complaints”.
