After that, we had to go to another office as the network was down where we were. At the new office, I was the 3rd person once again and in another 10 minutes, I was called in. I had to show my old passport which was stamped to show that it was no longer eligible and I was given the new one (I collected the old one back as well). And thus ended my process. This pickup process was the fastest part and it took about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall attitude of the staff at the office was courteous. There were some responses I believe could have been better or some explanations better detailed but those were few and far between, made up for by the other officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, it was a good experience for me as I wanted to explore using a Nigerian service with no \u2018fast-tracker\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I now have a valid passport with many pages waiting to be stamped. I am currently open to sponsored trips so if you have a plug, or are willing to sponsor my travel dreams, lemme know! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
