The CG has vowed to discipline officers who go out of their way to try to either engage or sabotage the reform process.

No fewer than 80 officers and men of the Nigerian Immigration Service are on trial for indulging in the collection of illegal fees for the issuance of new passports and renewal of old ones.

Mr Akuneme also said the CG’s three-point agenda includes reforming passport issuance, tightening border security and improving the welfare of NIS officers. “You don’t really need anybody, whether immigration officers or agents, which we usually call touts. They have upgraded and become agents. They are still third parties.
