Netters:

A friend of mine wants to know the address and phone numbers of the
Nigerian Consular Office in New York. He is specifically interested in
the section that issues/renews passports.

Anyone who has information on this should please post such to the forum
or to me privately.

As always, thanks.

Kehinde

Just a small note to those who responded to my inquiry on the Nigeria
consulate, I am overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the response.

It is probably impossible to thank you all individually. At times like
this, one feels proud being part of this forum.

Thanks a million. I'll be back for more guidance!

Kehinde.
