The presentation was made at an elaborate ceremony organised by the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO), Qatar chapter, to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary.
Hundreds of Nigerians in Qatar recently received their new passports within two weeks, a turnaround the community described as record time.
