📝 NigeriaNewsFeed Summary
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Northern Caucus, has refuted allegations that the Federal Government's passport centralisation reform is aimed at marginalizing Northern Nigeria. NANS described these claims as false and politically motivated, emphasizing that the reform is a nationwide initiative by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to enhance security and efficiency in passport issuance. During a press conference in Abuja, NANS urged residents of the North-East and North-West to disregard what they termed as misinformation surrounding the reform. They clarified that the transition to a Central Personalisation Centre in Abuja does not halt passport processing at local offices or embassies. The phased implementation strategy, which began in February 2025, is set to include all regions by August 2026. NANS assured that the reform aims to modernize the passport system, reduce fraud, and improve service delivery across the country.
