The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has extended its Special Passport Intervention Exercise in the United Kingdom to October 30, 2026, following a high turnout and sustained demand from Nigerians.
The exercise, which was originally scheduled to end earlier, will now run from October 6 to 30, 2026.
The NIS said the extension was approved on the directive of the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo.
In a public announcement, the Service said: “In view of the high turnout and sustained demand by Nigerians for the Special Passport Intervention Exercise in the United Kingdom, the Nigeria Immigration Service, acting on the directive of the Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has extended the exercise to run from 6th to 30th October, 2026.”
The extension is expected to give more Nigerians in the UK the opportunity to access passport services under the special intervention exercise.
