She cautioned officials against passport racketeering and other unethical behavior, promising to punish anyone who engaged in it.
CG Adepoju urged them to rigorously follow passport processing protocols and border security problems.
According to the Immigration chief, the passport offices across the country must ensure that all applicants “are served promptly and with dignity”.
“There should be no delay in any passport offices and no applicants or Nigerians must be put under any hideous task or maltreatment,” she ordered.
