The Federal Government has said it is turning around the entire port application process by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to six weeks.

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, disclosed this today at a meeting with the Comptroller General of Immigration, Mohammad Babandede, port officers, as well as the attaches in Nigeria Missions abroad, at the Immigration Headquarters, Sauka, Abuja.

In his speech titled ‘A NEW DAWN IN PORT APPLICATION PROCESSING’, the Minister said, “We have had several challenges in the past, including shortage of booklets, touting, racketeering, inflating the cost, ports being issued to ineligible persons, among others. It has become imperative therefore to review our operations and rejig our system, in order to be able to offer excellent services to our clients.”

According to him, efforts are on to embed security operatives both seen and unseen, in all port offices. “They will wear body cameras. They will detect and report any form of solicitations, inflation, improper communications, extortion, diversion, hoarding and other corrupt practices. Those caught will be dealt with according to the law,” he stressed.

The Minister disclosed further that an ombudsman will also be created for of the public to receive complaints and reports on officers trying to deviate from prescribed guidelines and subversion of the process.

“Therefore, I am declaring a zero-tolerance stance to all forms of touting. No applicant will be made to pay any illegitimate fees,” he said.

Highlights of the meeting include but not limited to the following:
i. Creation of special centres for expedited services. These special centres will run on public-private partnership basis. This has already taken off in Abuja and 10 more will be opened in the coming weeks as more of such centres will be opened all over the country. Our goal is to have one in each local government, university campuses, institutions of higher learning and other places.

II. A timeline will be fixed for every application i.e., a collection date. This will be six weeks, comparable to what obtains in other countries. This is to allow for enough time to investigate and validate personal information supplied by the applicants. What we are driving at is the peace of mind that comes from assurance of certainty. If there are circumstances that will make the date to change, it will be communicated to the applicant one week before the collection date.

iii. Applicants will have no basis for further communication with officers, other than to complete their application process and leave the venue. The date for the collection of their ports or any challenge to the application, will be communicated to them. The technology for the efficient running of this system has been acquired and will be deployed.

iv. To publish the list of the backlog of applications that are ready which are yet to be collected by the owners. They will be required to go to the State commands to collect them.

I was at their Ikoyi Office on Friday. They gave me a brown file to process my port application. However, i noticed a lot of people with white files. I then asked one of the officers the reason why? He said the people that go through officers are the ones with white files, while people that process their application are given brown file. This is to differentiate and allow them to know who to focus on.

To make matters interesting, after capturing, they collect files and tell people with brown files to submit theirs at Servicom.

With all those same officers still working there, the 6 weeks port project is more of an illusion.

Na wa o

Joiceee:

Photocopy of the data page of my guarantor's port and one port photograph that was affixed on the Guarantor's form. At the Ilorin office by the way although I've heard the guarantor's ID (Nat'l or Drivers license) is required in some other centres but I'm not sure. As for State of Origin, I had it before now; obtained from my state local gov't secretariat.
