The Democratic Patriots of Africa (DPA) has commended the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, over ongoing reforms in the ministry.

The organisation said the reforms are “a clear testimony to his competence, patriotism, and transformative spirit.”

The group particularly commended reforms in the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), which has led to the clearing of over 200,000 passport backlog and the fact that passport processing timelines have been drastically reduced, bottlenecks removed, and digital solutions introduced to improve accessibility and restore public trust in government institutions

Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Country Representative of DPA, Ayobami Adeyemi also commended President Bola Tinubu for establishing Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).

He noted that the establishment of NELFUND has reduced the number of school dropouts and increased enrolment of students in tertiary institutions in the country

Adeyemi said the minister has redefined public service in Nigeria with results-driven reforms, particularly in passport processing.

He said that Tunji-Ojo modernised the Nigeria Immigration Service with technology-driven solutions to enhance border security and ease passport issuance

He said: “Hon. Bunmi Tunji-Ojo is a visionary, an astute reformer, and a thoroughbred administrator who has redefined public service in Nigeria. Through innovation, diligence, and an unyielding commitment to excellence, he has demonstrated that leadership is about results, not rhetoric.”

He added: “The Nigeria Immigration Service has been overhauled with innovative technologies that modernised passport issuance and enhanced border security


The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has been strengthened to boost internal security and rapid response to threats. The Correctional Service is witnessing humane reforms and modernisation, while the Federal Fire Service has been equipped with modern tools to protect lives and property.”

He also commended President Bola Tinubu for entrusting such a sensitive ministry to a capable hand.

“We must appreciate His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his foresight in appointing Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo. By entrusting such a critical ministry to a passionate and capable reformer, the President has once again shown his commitment to meritocracy and good governance,” he said


President of NFSAN, Faith Istifanus, also commended President Tinubu for far-reaching reforms across key sectors, particularly in education and internal security, noting that the student community is especially impressed with the performance of Tunji-Ojo.

According to her, passport processing, which previously took months, can now be completed within 24 hours, a development she attributed to the minister’s reform-driven leadership and the commitment of the Comptroller-General of Immigration, Mrs. Kemi Nanna Nandap

Tunji Ojo has been extra ordinary as the minister of interior

SmartPolician:
Mr. Tunji-Ojo is no longer the Minister of Interior; just change his portfolio to Minister of Passport. He doesn't understand his ministry beyond passports.

Nigerian prisons need urgent reforms. Inmates are treated like wild animals in cages, including people who were wrongly accused and are awaiting trials. Meanwhile, the minister who is supposed to address that is obsessed with passports!

buttlover:
And my own is yet to come out since I captured on 8th of September.

Bigchris01:
This guy is the only person who functions well in his duties among all Tinubu appointees, but however there’s a need to make a price adjustment in our passport fee there’s no place in the world where their passport fee is higher than the country’s minimum wage I think he really need to find a solution to that, but every other things being said here I give him credit for his reform, before now I know how people suffered to get passport but currently is way easier due to his reformation.

AntiChristian:
One of the best ministers of Tinubu! But those civil servants under him are still doing him bad! If you register through them they give you priority than when you register OYO!

HomoDroid:
Have you also considered that the current price of Nigerian Passport is far below the cheapest domestic flight ticket?
