The Consul General of Nigeria in New York, Mr Benaoyagha Okoyen, has said the consulate is operating above capacity especially in passport service delivery.
He explained that the staff and facilities of the consulate were overstretched by the deluge of applications, many by Nigerians from other consular jurisdictions. “The New York consulate has 20 states under its jurisdiction; Atlanta serves at least 15 and Washington has no fewer than 15 states under it.
“But it comes with huge challenges, especially the undue pressure it puts on our staff and facilities.”
