Diaspora Nigerians to enjoy seamless passport processing — Tunji-Ojo
The Ministry of Interior is set to create new passport processing and collection centres, especially for Nigerians in the diaspora.
The Ministry of Interior is set to create new passport processing and collection centres, especially for Nigerians in the diaspora, to decongest established centres and fast-track service operations at home and abroad.
The Minister made the policy statement at the 6th Nigeria Diaspora Investment Summit, organised by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) and the Nigeria Diaspora Summit Initiative (NDSI) in Abuja. “Nigerians, especially Diaspora Nigerians, are to enjoy a seamless passport process and issuance system,” Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo pledged, adding that the changes would be effective from February 2024.
He urged the public to report any unethical behaviour by officers of the Ministry and its parastatals. Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa commended the Minister for his positive disposition towards Nigerians in the diaspora, particularly on passport issuance.
