The Upper Chamber also asked the committee to probe the contract for the printing of passports by the NIS.
The Senate made some rules for a group of people who work for them called the Interior Committee. This happened because one of the Senators named Uche Ekwunife said that it’s hard for people in Nigeria to get their passports and it’s making their lives difficult.
Getting a passport usually takes six weeks, but for Nigerians it can take three to six months.
The lawmaker further noted that it has become extremely difficult for passports to be processed in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja and this is creating a situation where Nigerians who reside in those states now have to travel to other states in the country to process their passports.
