The initiative will also afford Nigerians the opportunity of getting their passports within 24hrs, at the high premium service, and 72hrs at the ordinary premium service, albeit with added value and a little bit of extra cost.

The minister held that a centre like this is necessary to reduce stress. Secondly, by minimizing human contact, it eliminates the prospect of corruption. The Minister added that the launch of the operation will offer Nigerians services of convenience and pleasure by taking away the hitherto stress in the conventional passport offices.
