By the publication of the list yesterday, the government
finally fulfilled its threat to publish the names of 8,611 Nigerians who were
yet to collect their processed passports from the various offices of the
Nigeria Immigrations service (NIS).
Ministry of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola revealed the
names on its website with the link shared on its official Twitter handle. The
minister also tweeted the list on Thursday afternoon.
The minister recently announced that the Nigeria Immigration
Service had over 148,000 unclaimed passports nationwide.
However, we learnt that owners of the said unclaimed
passports could not be reached by the team deployed by the Comptroller -general
to reach out to them as in-putted incorrect contact details at the point of
registration.
The ministry in the tweet pleaded with those whose names
were published to visit the various passport offices in the country to pick up
theirs.
The tweets read, “List of all produced Nigerian Passports
worldwide that remains uncollected. If you find your name, proceed to the
passport office to pick up yours.”
The said list captured data like surname, first name, other
name, passport number and production date.
