Nigeria Looks to Improve Document Issuing Processes

ID & Secure Document News™ has had occasion to report on Nigeria’s Ministry of Interior in recent times on a variety of, not always positive, policy initiatives (see IDN August 2020 and July 2022).

But now, Rauf Aregbesola, head of the ministry, has pledged to sanitise the performance of professional service providers by improving the processing of visas, passports, marriages and citizenship applications.

The minister made the promise during a Quarterly Review Meeting with some consultant-special service providers engaged by the ministry at the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) headquarters. The minister reiterated the importance of performance review, adding that the meeting had helped in addressing challenges experienced by service providers and serving as a platform to identify problems that often contributed to inefficient service delivery.
