The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) suspends Online Integrated Solution (OIS Services) as the operator handling Nigeria’s visa application and biometric services in the United States. Multiple outlets report that the NIS announces the move in a statement issued in Abuja by its Public Relations Officer, Deputy Comptroller Akinsola Akinlabi. Sources say OIS Services is disengaged from administering Nigeria Visa Application Centres in the US, with the suspension described as indefinite. While one report specifies that the suspension becomes effective from July 1, other accounts describe the change as taking effect immediately, without contradicting the July 1 effective date reported elsewhere. Following the NIS action, prospective travellers seeking Nigerian visas are directed to submit applications through the NIS’s alternative arrangements, as the Visa Application Centres operated by OIS are paused. Premium Times and other reports note that the NIS does not provide a stated reason for ending the third-party arrangement or a timeframe for review. One outlet adds that OIS Services later responds to the pause, though details of its explanation are not consistently reported across coverage. No consensus is provided across sources on the underlying cause or the exact next steps for applicants beyond the removal of OIS from the process.
