Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has done what has never happened before in the history of the Ministry of Interior , he has ensured the clearance of all outstanding passports, a total of 204, 322 outstanding which had created an embarrassing backlog.

This clearance has again made Nigerians to loud his dedication to the job as well as his charisma of always getting the job done. Some have even nicknamed him; minister talk and do.

His consistent passion for the alleviation of the pains of Nigerians has made a number of them applaud President Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo to the ministry as he makes everyone believe that the Renewed Hope agenda of the president can be realized.

Prominent Instagram blogs, Goldmyn and Instablog, posted the recent development, and their comments section is full of praises and happiness.

Mona_Liza_Perry came out batting with "I've heard some people say they haven't been called by the passport office, please go do NIS office and collect your passport, it's not everybody that will receive message for collection from them. Your passports are ready".

Macjay147 contributed with "Nigeria can actually work like other countries, if we jestison nepotism with capacity, put qualified people in positions of power and we will see every sector working smoothly. See how this minister has delivered within short period what previous ministers failed to deliver".

Similarly, emlexprince noted, "if this minister can perform such actions, we are expecting other ministers to do likewise in their capacities. It is time to make Nigeria work, now not tomorrow. Our future begins now, not tomorrow.
