The Nigerian Immigration Service has reiterated its zero tolerance for the collection of illegal fees for the issuance of passports.

He said the sanction was part of Comptroller General Isah Jere’s three-point agenda: reform passport issuance, tightening border security and improving officers’ welfare. “You don’t need anybody, whether immigration officers or agents which we usually call touts. They are still third parties,” he told NAN.

Akuneme lamented that “learned and civilised persons” usually rely on third parties to process their applications.
