The Federal Government has directed the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), to with immediate effect, put an end to the payment of fines by Nigerians holding dual citizenship at the nation’s International Airports.
The Honorable Minister of Interior, Lt Gen. (Rtd) Abdulrahman Dambazau, CFR, PhD, who stated this today, in his Office in Abuja, said that the directives are in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s resolve to make movement easy for Nigerians with dual citizenship to come into their father-land unhindered.
According to him, “as a new government policy, on no account should any Nigerian traveller holding dual citizenship pay fine for so-called overstay”.
He restated that it was a crime to ask or pay any money in that regard and stressed that under the new policy, “citizens with dual nationality should only present both travelling documents of their countries of nationality to the immigration officials upon arrival and departure, regardless of whichever they are using to travel”.
Gen. Dambazau emphasized that the NIS should ensure immediate compliance with the new government directives as government would sanction any Immigration official who is found collecting such fines henceforth.
Directing further that Nigerians with dual citizenship should report any Immigration official who imposes such charges on them to the appropriate authorities.

Hello Dear, are you genuinely visiting this site on a regular basis, if so then you will definitely take nice know-how.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my
4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and
screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
Gostaria de enfatizar que o fenômeno da Internet representa uma abertura para a melhoria de alternativas às soluções ortodoxas.
