FESTAC NEW PCO IS REALLY WORKING HARD, FAST PRODUCTION OF BACKLOGS AND SOME1 IS HERE TALKING THRASH ABOUT BEING A DIY, WHEN THE NEW PCO HAS GIVING ORDER FOR ALL BACKLOGS TO BE PRODUCED, INSTEAD OF PRAISING THE NEW PCO FOR JOB WELL DONE FOR TREATING EVERY PASSPORT/APPLICANT THE SAME. HE DOESNT CARE IF U PAID 4OK, 45K, 65K OR DIY, HE TREAT EVERY PASSPORTS AND APPLICANTS THE SAME. HE MET BACKLOGS & NO BOOKLETS ISSUES WHEN HE WAS TRANSFERED TO FESTAC AND GAVE THEM ORDER FOR FAST PRODUCTION OF BACKLOGS. THE NEW PCO NA MAN HIM BE. IF NOT FOR THE NEW PCO DIY FOR WAIT IN VAIN. I BELIEVE HE IS A JEHOVAH WITNESS BECAUSE HE HAS CONSCIENCE UNLIKE THE OTHER CHRISTIANS & MUSLIMS.

I got to Sagamu center around 8:47am this morning, I haven't printed my guarantor NIN and data page of guarantor. I went straight to computer center to print them; per page was #500.

VTJN:
Even at Alausa. People who captured April and May are yet to collect their passport. It is almost everywhere

ekitimanalways:


I can, of course, assure you and anyone that Alausa Passport Office embraces DIY applicants than Osogbo Passport Office.

I heard that Alausa Passport Office's now producing April 2023 applicants' passports.

mrsglo:

This information is misleading. I am currently at the Festac office and was told they are yet to finish with March for those that are DIY.
The marching order given by the PCO seem to affect only those people who captured using agents. I was told they are currently clearing those of JUNE applicants but it is strictly those who did via various contacts.
I have been waiting to be allowed to see the PCO but those who can grant access will frustrate you and direct you to his minions who will insist there is nothing they can do and you should just wait.
One of the officers I spoke to said I should check back first week October.
Featac office is a total mess.
The PCO is a good man from all account but they will not allow you see him.

If you are still there, try this strategy someone posted here


"The officers there may not allow you initially but you should insist. They might even tell you to go and see the second in command (2/i/c PCO) in the other building because he's also very corrupt just like them. If you go there, first thing he will ask you is whether you are willing to fast track it.

If they refuse you seeing the PCO initially, you can go downstairs or outside, wait for say 30 minutes and go back to the PCO's office telling them that the 2/i/c directed you to him.

When you get in, explain your situation to him. He will help you."

I had somewhat similar experience at Alimosho yesterday 15/03/2023. Thanks to guys who gave the timely address to the center yesterday.
I got there past 1, and the security man asked for appointment slip. He also asked for my account officer, I told him had none. After gaining access into their compound, another guy asked for my appointment slip, and he told me to go inside. Nobody asked for financial inducement from me.
On getting into the main hall where people are sitted, ready to be captured, I saw the same man, Mr Bello. He asked me to go and get a white file outside, and a woman who run printing business was able to do everything for me. She sold white file to me, and perforated the file with my name written on it.
I gave the file back to Mr Bello, and checked everything, after that, he told me to go and sit down. I sat for hours before I was called for capturing. I did everything without hassle. One thing I note about Mr Bello is that, He doesn't take non sense. I saw him telling his colleagues that anyone that is not scheduled for a particular day should not come for capturing. Some of his colleagues are collecting money and doing sort of things for people.
Any time people are shouting and angry, he would come and douse the tension with sweet words. The man is such a great servant.

(1) Yes, you need a NIN slip.
(2) Officially 6 weeks. Unofficially 4 or 5 months. I know someone who had her enrolment at Alausa Passport Office, Ikeja in February 2023. Her passport was produced in June 2023. She chose the do-it-yourself (DIY) route, though.
(3) Would you rephrase this question so that it is clear, please?
(4) If you're in Lagos State I would have suggested Alausa Passport Office, Ikeja.

Have a good night's rest, sir.
