The Spokesperson of the parliament, Hon. Saviour Okafor in a statement shared with Journalists on Tuesday, said the automated E-Passport Processing System, initiated by the Minister of Interior, is highlighted for its intended enhancement of security.
According to Okafor: “The system will ensure a thorough scrutiny of passport applications across all Local Government Areas, contributing to strengthening our national security.
“It represents a significant advancement in the country’s security and migration frameworks, promising quicker detection of fraudulent passport applications, aimed at reducing crime and illegal migrations while reinforcing the overall efficiency and reliability of the passport issuance system.”
Commending Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo for his accomplishments, NCSCN acknowledges the swift clearance of 204,000 backlog passport applications within two weeks.
” Additionally, stringent bottlenecks in acquiring passports and other immigration documents have been removed, fostering hope for Nigerians in and outside the country.”
He said Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo’s tenure has witnessed an unprecedented promotion of about 32,361 personnel across the Nigeria Correctional Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Fire Service, and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps. This reflects the commitment of the Renewed Hope Government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in prioritizing officer welfare.
