Good day, Nairalanders,

So this is my experience at Ikoyi International port, Lagos

I've heard of the beautiful changes the new minister of Interior has done to make things easier, so I decided to try..

I ed online myself for my daughter, filled out the necessary forms and added the necessary documents, and submitted...

I made payment also, that same day, which is on the 8th, June 2024.

I went to their office early, it is close to my family house, just 20min walk from my family house to the port office, after I've picked a date to capture.

I submitted all the necessary documents and the online form, it was stamped, and they checked other required document, and we were asked to go and sit in a room for capturing, which was on the 9th, June 2024..

2days later, I was tracking online I couldn't see anything, still stucked at the stage of NIN verification, my mind just say like me go there, since it is close by to my family house on the 17th, luckily I've a small card with the number I was given to come and collect it when it is ready and lo and behold, the ports have been ready since on the 14th, June 2024, according to the issue date on the ports..


I urge people to always do things themselves, you don't need to pay anybody before you get your international ports done now, it is easy like A-B-C..


Let me go and do for my 10month old boy now, that boy has refused to put his head one side to snap him, that was the reason why I didn't do it, if not, both ports would have been ready....

Go to the Nigeria Immigration Service Twitter page and share your experience there.... Who knows, the Comptroller General or Minister of Interior might see it and Encourage the officers there.

Thank you, I will do as you have said...

You are right on this 👏

Small small we are getting there...

He remain all those begi begi for airport, make them sanitize that one.

Then we keep sanitizing, till we can comfortably sanction a local government chairman for not doing our street.

We will get there.

You don't have to be negative. The fact is, online port registration, capturing, and issuance have become faster over the past few months.

Even better, port DIY process is now easier and people have started neglecting these unscrupulous officers/agents who charge insanely high fees to assist people.

On May 10, I ed online for a family member and capturing dates were available from the following day (Abeokuta port Office). She captured May 16, and her port was out on June 11 – barely a month!

In addition, we paid #36,400 in total and didn't part with a dime for whatever reason from start to finish. Interestingly, the officers were nice, patient, and courteous.

Unfortunately, Nigerians are the major enablers of corrupt practices. I mean, if no one is willing to pay for these so-called FasTrack process, the officers will start doing what's right.

Even more baffling, we complain when things don't work, and hardly show believe in our institutions when they are back in the right track with better service delivery.

Let's use the same energy used in castigating these people to also spread the good news about their services.

God bless Nigeria.

Not being negative, this doubting.
Understand the difference
