@nigimmigration FORMAL COMPLAINT: NIGERIAN EMBASSY, PRAGUE
I wish to formally raise a serious complaint about the unacceptable standard of service at the Nigerian Embassy in Prague.
Yesterday, I waited approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to receive service. I returned today and have again waited for over 1 hour and 30 minutes. Citizens should not have to spend several hours waiting for basic consular services.
People come to the Embassy with jobs, families and other responsibilities, and some travel considerable distances. Yet applicants are subjected to excessive waiting, poor organization, inadequate communication and an apparent lack of urgency.
Even more concerning is that passport services are not provided in Prague, meaning Nigerians living in the Czech Republic may have to travel to another country simply to access passport services. This raises a fundamental question about the level and accessibility of consular services being provided to Nigerians in the Czech Republic.
Embassy staff are public servants representing the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Nigerians have a right to expect professionalism, efficiency, accountability and respect for their time.
What performance standards are Embassy employees required to meet? Who monitors their performance? Why should taxpayers continue funding a diplomatic mission if citizens cannot receive essential services efficiently?
I call on the Nigeria Immigration Service, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other responsible authorities to urgently review the Embassyβs operations, including staffing, employee performance, waiting times, appointment procedures and the availability of essential services such as passports.
If the problem is inadequate staffing, provide adequate staff. If it is poor management, improve the management. If employees consistently fail to perform their responsibilities, their performance should be reviewed and appropriate action taken.
If the Embassyβs services cannot be substantially improved and upgraded to an acceptable standard, including providing essential consular services to the Nigerian community it is established to serve, then the authorities should seriously consider whether there is any justification for continuing to operate the Embassy in its present form. Closure or a complete restructuring should be considered rather than maintaining a mission that cannot adequately serve its citizens.
Nigerians abroad should not have to suffer simply to receive services from their own government.
Nigerians deserve better. Our diplomatic missions must be accountable to the people they are established to serve. @nidcom_gov@BTOofficial@MinOfInteriorNG@nigimmigration
@tobex41@Aunty_Meenat@Ayo_bami007@ruleyourspace Your peculiarity doesn't make our family inconsequential. I am proud of my family, even when the chips are down, they come for me. I won't treat anybody better than my family except I'm married. I'm sorry if yours ain't the same, we can't agree more or less. I'm just grateful.
@okoliprecious13 @Ayomide43529323 @IamonlyAUGUST@chidi_adaugo@Oye440 It's your orientation, perception, purpose driving you. A lot of them don't have any motivation except motivational speakers, Instagram pictures, iPhone upgrades, etc. I love the conversation. Good to meet you guys here.
@okoliprecious13@IamonlyAUGUST@chidi_adaugo@Oye440 You made a strong point. Considering his tweet, he didn't ask or request she brings money to the table. You could have all the money yet be unsatisfied with your level of exposure and productivity depending on your source. A good % of men would double your money. Just be loyal.
@tobex41@Ayo_bami007@ruleyourspace Family issues and all that happens but would you want to be involved with a lady who's doing good, wearing gold, driving cars, and yet not showing a decent family? You won't even bother to continue hence, she made the right decisions. She didn't need to know the past.
@tobex41@Ayo_bami007@ruleyourspace You are entitled to your opinion. When you want to respond next time, stay within the context of the discussion. She left because the person in question doesn't treat her mum right. I don't understand what you are insinuating. Have a lovely day.
