The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has extended its special passport intervention exercise in the United Kingdom following a surge in demand among Nigerians seeking passport services.
The exercise, which is being conducted at centres in London and Manchester, has been extended from September 19 to October 3, 2026.
The NIS announced the extension in a statement signed by its Service Public Relations Officer, DCI Akinsola Akinlabi, on Friday.
The Service said the extension was approved in response to the high turnout recorded since the commencement of the exercise.
“In response to the high turnout and interest shown, the Nigeria Immigration Service under the directive of the Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has approved an extension of the exercise in London and Manchester from 19th September to 3rd October, 2026,” the statement said.
