The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, says the Nigerian passport application automation process will start on January 8.
Ojo said this while inspecting facilities of the Nigeria Immigration Service in Abuja, alongside the Comptroller General of the Service, Wura-Ola Adepoju, on Monday. He said the development implies that Nigerians will be able to apply and complete their passport application process online without human contact.
He said, “We are good to go live. We are starting the training and on January 8, the solution will be live and direct for Nigerians to have a good feel, a sweet experience based on the Renewed Hope of Mr President.
“We have been able to reduce human contact in passport acquisition to the minimum.”
