Innovations at Nigeria’s Ministry of Interior Aim to Enhance National Security and Simplify Services
Nigeria’s Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has emphasized the importance of introducing innovations that render seamless services and make things easier for Nigerians and investors without compromising national security. This commitment was made known during a meeting with the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), Davidson Alaribe.
Tunji-Ojo revealed that there is still room for improvement in the passport acquisition process, but the contactless passport solution is set to be implemented soon. This will enable Nigerians to renew their passports without having to physically visit the passport office. The Minister also expressed his ministry’s willingness to partner with ICAN to optimize its workforce and service delivery across the ministry and its agencies.
Speaking earlier, Alaribe commended Tunji-Ojo for modernizing the Nigeria Passport Offices, making it seamless and easy for people to renew and obtain their passports. He noted that the Minister’s commitment to reforming the Immigration, Civil Defence Corps, and modernizing public sector safety measures has significantly improved border control, national security, and service efficiency.
The Minister’s leadership in digitization, particularly in e-passport services and visa reforms, has streamlined business operations and strengthened Nigeria’s international relationships, Alaribe added.
With these innovations, Nigeria’s Ministry of Interior is poised to further enhance national security and simplify services for its citizens and investors, while maintaining its reputation as a key player in the global community.
