Passport
The Federal Government says it has made significant inroads in its efforts to address the impediments in the processing and collection of international passports in Nigeria.
The inability of Nigerians to obtain their passports in good time has created a massive backlog of travel documents and caused considerable social and economic discomfort to many.
However, the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, says 204,322 international passports are now ready for collection out of the backlog of over 300,000 he met on assumption of office.

Ojo made the disclosure during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, disclosing that only 99,901 had been collected out of the amount ready for collection.
He urged Nigerians to pick up their uncollected passports.
Tunji-Ojo also revealed that the ministry was working with the immigration service and their vendors to ensure that from next year, international passports are delivered directly to the preferred address of Nigerians.
