The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, announced this in a statement after inspecting the newly built Centralised Passport Personalisation Centre at the NIS Headquarters in Abuja.

Tunji-Ojo said the new infrastructure could personalise over 1,000 passports in one hour, up from 250 to 300 passports daily.

“With these strategic infrastructural investments, which did not cost a kobo to the government, the NIS can now personalise over 1,000 passports in one hour.”

“As a major milestone, for the first time in 62 years of the service [NIS], this centralisation puts an end to the production of our passports at multiple centres across the world,” he stated.
