The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has asked that immigration officials should ensure that Nigerians no longer queue endlessly for travel passports.
Tunji-Ojo stated this during a brief meeting with the Acting comptroller general of immigration, Adepoju Carol Wura-Ola, and controller general of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Haliru Nababa, at the Nigerian Immigration Service and Nigerian Correctional Service on Wednesday, August 30.
Tunji-Ojo said, “I am just returning from a meeting with the president. He is not interested in excuses. We must work and deliver,” Tunji-Ojo said.
“Anyone who cannot help Nigeria to record progress must be kicked out because we can actually be great.
“Let me know your challenges. I am here to help you solve them. When you solve them and record successes, I am also successful.
“The time of talks is gone. So, keep your talk. Let us discuss solutions.
“Nigerians should not have to queue endlessly to get passports. No, this must stop. This is not the Nigeria of our dreams. I need to know the challenges the agency is facing.”
