Nigerian Embassy
In multiple videos shared on X, the angry protesters were heard lamenting how the Nigerian agencies neglected them for more than six months after they applied for the passport.
On Wednesday morning, July 31, Nigerian nationals living in the United Kingdom gathered at the country's High Commission in London to protest the prolonged delay in issuing their international passports.
In multiple videos shared on X, the angry protesters were heard lamenting how the Nigerian agencies neglected them for more than six months after they applied for the passport.
“Two weeks turn to six months. Enough is enough. No more delay,” one of the protesters said in the video.
The protesters were also seen with several placards calling for the immediate cancellation of extra fees imposed on passport applicants by the embassy.
“Nigerian passport is our right. Say no to the $318 extra fee. Minister you promised us 2 weeks, it is 6 months now,” some of the displayed placards read.
The minister, Tunji-Ojo assured affected citizens that prompt action would be taken after an investigation is carried out.
"I have ordered an immediate investigation into the matters arising, and I assure you that corresponding actions will be taken soonest," he said.
