The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has been instructed by Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola to permit Nigerians living abroad to return to their country with expired international passports, IgbereTV reports
Aregbesola issued the instruction on Wednesday in Lagos in response to a complaint made by a Nigerian-American citizen, Mr. Jamui Kasumu, during his impromptu visit to the Alausa Passport Office.
He claimed that Nigerians living abroad were free to return home with a valid Nigerian passport.
The Minister stated that no Nigerian required a travel document to return home, with the exception of children whose parents were Nigerians but whose identities had not yet been verified in accordance with immigration regulations
