Construction of Passport Office In Abeokuta Commences After Approval From The Governor
In a statement, the NIS Public Relations Officer, Deputy Controller, Tony Akuneme, described the new passport office building project as timely, and that on completion, it would enhance passport processing and production.
The Comptroller General of Immigration, Mr Isah Idris, while performing the ground-breaking ceremony for the new Abeokuta Passport Office, as part of his tour of Immigration formations in Zone A comprising Lagos and Ogun states, said, “Part of my agenda is to make passport acquisition seamless.
“And the only way we could do this is to improve, build the structures, and equip it so that Nigerians can get these services seamlessly without tears. This is indeed a timely project for upgrading our service delivery to the people of Ogun State and Nigeria as a whole.
“This development will surely enhance passport processing and production in the Gateway State. I congratulate the personnel of the Ogun State Command of the NIS, and I can assure that this project will also help them deliver optimal service to the people of the state at all times.”
He thanked the governor for the approval and allocation of land for the construction of the proposed Abeokuta passport office, as well as the refurbishing of three operational vehicles by the Ogun State Security Trust Fund. He noted that the gesture has enhanced mobilisation and patrol operations of the service.
