The Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has said Nigerians will have their passport DELIVERED to their homes, offices, and other locations of their choice from February 2024.
Speaking yesterday at the opening ceremony of the International Week of the University Of Lagos, titled, ‘Breaking the Borders of Partnership,’ Tunji-Ojo assured that by January next year, Nigerians would be able to complete the application process online.
He further disclosed that the government is working on strengthening Nigeria’s visa-on-arrival policy in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enforce the principle of reciprocity; while a committee has been set up to achieve this.
He however lamented that there was a duplication of registration of identity numbers in country; including the BVN in banks, the international passport, the NIN, and SIM card registration by telcos.
