This is the worse experience ever. Wish I could give you 4 instead. I applied for correction to my passport which had an error to my DOB. Was given a pick up slip with a date, which i expressed i needed my passport as soon as possible so i can take to another consulate to process my visa for trip that was 3 months away. I made many face to face attemps to pick up my passport, yet nothing. Given 2 seperate contact to call. Majority of the time no answer to my calls or text messages. Waited for months still no results. Was asked to pay extra to have my passport expedite still nothing. Each time I went to ask of my passport, everyone would say it's not ready yet. The most annoying part is they ask for bribe money and they have a contact in the Abuja office that will process it faster. WORD OF ADVISE, don't waste your extra money, it's all nonsense. You will not get the result you are looking for. Even to the week prior to my trip, I was told to exercise patience, what kind of rubbish are these people pulling. I had no choice but cancel my entire trip with my children which is nonrefundable, didn't get to process my visa with the with the other consulate and lost out so much money. Til today still my passport is not ready.

If someone from the consulate or government official is reading this, improvements need to be made, for instance return the process as it was in the past where you could go to the consulate and have everything resolved in 1 day. To many of your workers in the passport office on the 8th floor are very rude with the exception of the security guards at the main entrance.

It's a shame that as Nigerians we get treated like second class citizens. No human should have to go through such stress. I personally feel that there is so much corruption at this consulate and a lot of shady things happening.
