The Federal Government has promised to conclude negotiations with NIPOST on the usage of its speedy mail service to start delivering ports to Nigerians who opt for such a service.

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, disclosed this while speaking at the opening of the Nigeria Immigration Service port Front Desk Office in Auchi, Edo State, on Saturday, 20th May 2023.
“We are in the final stage of concluding negotiations with NIPOST to begin using its speed mail service to deliver ports to Nigerians wherever they are in the world after production,” the Minister disclosed.

According to a statement by Sola Fasure, Media Adviser to the Minister, the launch of an additional port Front Office in Auchi, Edo State, was part of the government’s effort towards effective service delivery to Nigerians.


He quoted Aregbesola as saying it was the intention of the government to provide the port to anyone desirous of it within a reasonable time, at an affordable price and without any stress.

Aregbesola, while stating that Edo State has one of the highest port applications in Nigeria, revealed that the waiting period between application and collection would likely increase due to the recent increase in demand.

In his words: “Our current working schedule is that fresh application would take six weeks after biometric data registration and three weeks for renewal. This is reasonable, competitive and in line the global best practices.

“The challenge, however, is the waiting period at the point of application and data registration.
“All applicants will be put in a queue, depending on the centre of their choice, to determine the registration date. Regrettably, it might take two months in some highly competitive centres where the application is very high. We have no control over this.”

He however said that the Federal Government is intentional about opening more front desk offices, in order to increase the registration centres and reduce the waiting period before biometric data capture.

This year alone, the Minister of Interior had been in Daura in Katsina State, Alimosho in Lagos, Ilesa in Osun, Zaria in Kaduna and Oyo in Oyo State to commission port Front Desk Offices.

Speaking earlier, the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Isah Jere Idris, said that the choice of Auchi is apt, as Edo State ranks fifth amongst states with the highest volume of port applications locally.

According to him, “In the past 365 days, Edo state has processed 56,291 applications out of the 1.5 million ports produced in Nigeria. The commissioning of this front office will no doubt go a long way in reducing the traffic in Edo State and other neighbouring States.”

Interesting

Alawada

Story for the gods.

Even if this should happened, we all know it's only in Northern Nigeria, will never happen in other parts of the country.

Nevertheless, believe this lies at your own peril

Nonesense. Make they stop express bribery first. M.umu

Better!

I hate that I have to wear uniform to do simple port capturing and collection.

Send it to my house and I will gladly pay for dispatch cost.

Another way to increase revenue for them sef.

Finally , I've been saying they should be doing this. Nigerian agencies should learn to be more efficient.

Anybody who waits for that, would wait till eternity. Even the one you go their offices without heavy bribery, won't see light of the day.

Waiting for home delivery of ports will be like waiting for Godot.




Availability is still an issue . It's home delivery you want to do.

This country self. To collect in the office is taking ages now they want delivery


Remind me that minister that said Nigeria will start producing aircraft in 2023

Hmm
I when I studied abroad. Everything was quite fast there. School registration, ID card issue and opening bank . I opened one with HSBC. I have no prior knowledge of HSBC. It was just conveniently located near the school.
I filled out the opening form. I guess they must have asked for my overseas (Nigerian) home address. I filled it out, opened and put money with them.
Now it turns out that they may have sent a mail to Nigeria. Once NIPOST saw the mail, they opened the letter and wrote their own with fake paper. The NIPOST own was asking me to fill out form with my credit/debit card number, expiry and then ccv at the back. They sent this letter like 3 or 4 times to my Nigeria home address.
My mum didn't know this. She just phoned me told me about the mulitple letters and had them posted back to me in UK.
I was suspicious and never filled the form. I took the fake NIPOST letter to the HSBC bank, where they confirmed it was fake. That somebody in my NIPOST post office has tampered with the original letter to try to 419 me.

This port thing that govt want to do now, I laugh in French.

Nice

This cracked me up.

Until Nigeria is divided, there would be no peace. I can’t imagine myself leaving together with Muslims. For crying out loud we’re not of same people. They need have a separate country I hate this

Lololopololliolpolooolollolololololoooloololloololloollooo

Even here in Europe with efficient local mailing system Nigerian embassies can not deliver port successfully

Do make we see. Mouth and lies too much
