The E-Arrival Wing at Murtala Muhammed International Airport marked its inaugural flight clearance in the newly renovated Immigration Clearance Hall last Friday. Travelers experienced efficient clearance in a modernized and enhanced environment, fostering a positive and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.
The enthusiastic responses shared on the Nigerian Immigration Service X page not only underscore the federal government’s commitment to upgrading airport facilities but also demonstrate its dedication to positioning Nigerian airports among the best in Africa. The immigration service tweeted, “Yesterday, the refurbished Immigration Clearance Hall of the E-Arrival Wing at Murtala Muhammed International Airport hosted its first flight clearance. Passengers cleared swiftly within a delightful ambiance!”
In response to the NIS videos and tweets, Nigerians from various backgrounds expressed overwhelming support for the airport upgrade. Adeniji @ADENIJIAA1 tweeted, “Great job! Please streamline the process for Nigerians returning to the country, as the wait time with immigration officers is excessive.”
Femo Debanj @ooadebanji, with over 100 followers, shared excitement over the development in a tweet, stating, “Impressive! Every government sector should strive for initiatives that reflect the nation’s stature. Officials should be adequately compensated for delivering quality service. God bless Nigeria.”
Another commendation for the NIS came from Adesanya Adetayo @mailtotayo, who tweeted, “Kudos to the NIS. Well done to the CG and her team. Also, thanks to the Minister. You’ve done a great job.”
Akin Akinyera @AkinyeraAkin, however, urged the immigration service to prioritize the renewal of international passports, which has been experiencing significant delays. He tweeted, “Passport renewals have been pending since last October. Can you address this issue?”
