Babandede said that Nigerians should expect an announcement on the policy changes in the coming months. “We have submitted a memo to the president and we believe we’ll get a positive response to that soon,” Mr. Babandede said. .

The immigration chief said the review was the government’s response to several months of complaints from Nigerians and other foreign elements who said the five-year validity period is too short.
