Interior ministry says new passport printers installed in Atlanta, New York consulates
The Ministry of Interior says new passport printers have been installed in Nigeria’s Atlanta and New York consulates to ease passport applications.
A statement on Wednesday in Abuja by the interior minister’s media aide, Babatunde Alao, said the devices were delivered and installed on February 18.
The installation followed a petition by Nigerians in diaspora, calling on the attention of the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, to ease the process of passport application in the U.S.
According to the statement, the minister stated that with the deployment of the new printers, Nigerians in Atlanta and New York can expect a faster and more efficient passport application process.
Mr Tunji-Ojo reiterated the ministry’s commitment to innovation and improved service delivery.
“The installation of these new printers demonstrates our dedication to addressing the needs of Nigerians at home and abroad.
“The ongoing reforms, including the Abuja Passport Personalisation Centre and the expansion of contactless solutions to cover more regions, will further enhance service efficiency,” he said.
He added that the development reflected the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ of President Bola Tinubu and demonstrated the administration’s commitment to improving the lives of Nigerians.
