Udeh gives Nigeria High Commission in London pass mark over
improved services
Demola Aluko, London
The Comptroller general of the Nigerian Immigration Service Mr. C. J. Udeh has
expressed satisfaction over the rate at which services at the Nigerian High commission in
London have improved, describing it as ''unbelieveable''.
Udeh,who stopped over in London on his way from an official duty in Germany told
African Examiner that the Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Dalhatu
Sarki Tafida has transformed the Commission from what it used to be in the past to a
more conducive environment.
The Comptroller General said he was really impressed at what he witnessed at the
Nigeria Embassy adding that regular visitors to the Northumberland Avenue office would
agree that things have improved generally in recent times compared to what it used to be
.
Udeh, while answering questions from Nigerians that were present at the embassy
however agreed that there is a need for improvement in some areas.
In an exclusive interview with African Examiner, Ambassador, Dalhatu Tafida urged
Nigerian residents in the UK to be patient ,stating that the officials in London were making
serious efforts to improve on their services .
He also noted that preference would be given to most vulnerable group like the nursing
mothers and pregnant women whenever they visit the embassy.
According to Babatunde Oyeniran, a Nigerian who was at the embassy to procure a new
passport for his two year old son, '' the online application system of the embassy was
working perfectly'' adding that the good thing about it was the ease at which he was able
to follow the procedure using the Internet.
However, Mrs.Beatrice Okoli, who found the online system a little bit complicating said
'' to be honest, this place has actually been transformed but there is still a lot to improve
on ''.
Most Nigerians who were at the embassy said there was need to create more space as
people were seen standing and moaning over inadequate seats .
