The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has inspected the newly completed Centralised Passport Personalisation Centre in Abuja, described as the first of its kind in the 62-year history of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).
Tunji-Ojo hailed the facility as a “big win” for Nigerians, saying it aligns the country with global best practices in nations such as the United States, United Kingdom, France, India, and Bangladesh.
He explained that the centre will increase production from about 300 booklets per machine daily to more than 5,000 passports per day, with approved passports ready within 24 hours.
“The era of backlogs and manual personalisation is over,” he said, reaffirming the government’s commitment to modernising passport services, strengthening document integrity, and delivering faster, more reliable service to citizens.
