  "summary": "The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has extended its Special Passport Intervention Exercise in the United Kingdom until October 30, 2026, due to high demand and a large number of Nigerians seeking passport services. This extension follows an earlier move to October 3, 2026, to accommodate more applicants. The exercise will now run from October 6 to October 30 at designated centers across the UK, including London, Manchester, Aberdeen, and Cardiff. Nigerians residing in the UK are encouraged to utilize this extension and complete their passport renewal applications at the designated intervention centers. The Contactless Passport Application System remains operational, allowing eligible Nigerians to renew their passports remotely without visiting a Nigerian Embassy, High Commission, or Consulate.",
