FG Orders Nigerian Immigration Service To Allow Nigerians With Expired Passports To Return Home.
The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has directed the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), to allow Nigerians in diaspora to return to Nigeria with their expired International Passports.
Aregbesola gave the directive while responding to a complaint by a Nigerian-American citizen, Jamui Kasumu, at the Alausa Passport Office during his unscheduled visit to the facility in Lagos on Wednesday, July 13.
He said Nigerians in the diaspora were free to come back home with an expired or non-expired Nigerian passport.
“I am using this medium to instruct all Nigeria Immigration Officers World-Wide to accord Nigerian travellers with expired Passport use such passports to return safely back home henceforth” he said
Earlier Kasumu had complained to the Minister that the Nigeria Immigration in America and Delta airline prevented him from coming to Nigeria because of an expired Nigerian passport.
“I am appealing to you sir that the Immigration should allow Nigerians with expired Passport to come back to their country,” he said.
