The Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, have listed the gains of the reforms initiated by the administration of President Bola Tinubu, and their significance to the growth and development of the country.

They emphasised the need to strengthen collaboration with one another in communicating the gains of the reforms to Nigerians.

Tunji-Ojo highlighted reforms in Passport Services, Border Security and Identity Management, while the Minister of Information and National Orientation said accurate information dissemination on government policies would improve Nigeria global image and attract investors.

He spoke when he received the Minister of Information and National Orientation and his delegation at the Ministry of Interior in Abuja on Tuesday.

He reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation to enhance public communication of key reforms, policies and achievements of the Federal Government under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

According to a statement from the Director of Press in the Ministry of.Interior, Mrs Mary Ali, the Minister emphasized the importance of partnership between both ministries in promoting transparency, national orientation and accurate dissemination of government policies.

Tunji-Ojo said significant reforms have been implemented across the agencies under his supervision, leading to measurable improvements in service delivery and national security.

He listed amongst others the clearing of 204,000 passport backlogs inherited in 2023, introduction of a contactless passport application system, enabling Nigerians in the diaspora to renew their passports using mobile devices without visiting embassies.

He listed establishment of Centralised Passport Production system, Global Passport Verification as Nigeria became integrated into the ICAO Public Key Directory (PKD), enabling Nigerian passports to be verified at border control systems worldwide.

He also listed Advanced Border Security: Deployment of Advanced Passenger Information (API) and Passenger Name Record (PNR) systems to pre-screen travellers before arrival in Nigeria and Establishment of an 8.3-petabyte immigration data centre to support modern migration management and border control operations amongst others.

He said the achievements recorded across the Ministry required stronger public awareness and communication. He therefore called for deeper collaboration with the Ministry of Information and National Orientation to ensure Nigerians are fully informed about the reforms and services available to them.

He also invited the Ministry of Information to collaborate on a coordinated communication strategy and undertake a project tour of key facilities under the Ministry of Interior to showcase on-going reforms.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation commended Dr Tunji-Ojo for the significant reforms implemented across the agencies under the Ministry, describing the transformation within the Nigerian Immigration Service, Nigerian Correctional Service, Federal Fire Service, and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps as remarkable.

He noted that aligning government messaging on security developments would help improve Nigeria’s global image, attract foreign investment, and ensure that accurate information about the country’s progress is communicated internationally.

The Minister further announced that Nigeria will host the World Public Relations Forum later this year in collaboration with the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR). He said the event will bring communication professionals from around the world to Nigeria and is expected to further enhance the country’s global image.


He called on the Ministry of Interior to support the event through visa facilitation and protocol arrangements for international delegates.

Both Ministers noted that the progress recorded in the last two and a half years reflects a strong commitment to institutional reform and improved service delivery, and agreed to deepen collaboration in strategic communication to ensure that Nigeria’s governance reforms, security improvements and development initiatives are effectively communicated to the world.

Olubunmi tunji-ojo has consistently proven his dedication to RenewedHope agenda

Journalism in Nigeria needs revival and I hope this meeting will be the beginning of it

We need more of this community support program. We need to become responsible socially

The Federal Government on Tuesday said it would begin to distribute 50,000 mattresses to the Nigeria Correctional Service centres across the country.

The gesture was said to be part of the move of the FG, aimed at improving inmates’ welfare and reinforcing rehabilitation within the correctional system.

Tunji-Ojo, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Correctional Reforms, Babatunde Ogundare, said the ongoing reform of the centres across the country would continue.
‎
‎Presenting the mattresses to the Comptroller of NSC , Ondo State Command , Mr Charles Oyewole, the minister said the gesture was made to ensure that no inmate would have to sleep on the bare floor.
‎
‎He said the initiative aligned with his commitment to transforming custodial centres from mere condemnation centres into facilities that reform and rehabilitate inmates.
‎
‎ He declared that each correctional centre across the country would receive mattresses based on its population and needs of the centre.
According to him, inmates were part of society and must be treated with dignity noting that all inmates live decent lives, and no one should sleep on the bare floor.
‎
‎The minister said, “Since I assumed office as Minister of Interior, I have maintained that none of our custodial centres should be condemnation centres. We are distributing over 50,000 mattresses to all the correctional centres across the country.

“The correctional centres must be places where lives are reformed and transformed into better citizens. Inmates are part of our society, and we must see them as part of us.
‎
‎”I have made it clear that no inmate should sleep on the bare floor. Every inmate must live a decent life with dignity. That conviction informed my decision to propose and approve the production of these customised mattresses.”
Speaking on the quality of the mattresses, he explained that they were waterproof, foldable, and customised to meet international standards, providing durability and comfort.
‎
‎”If you examine the mattresses, you will notice that they are waterproof and specially designed to withstand constant use. Previously, the government incurred unnecessary expenses because mattresses wore out within a few months. These fibre mattresses are more durable and align with international best practices. Beyond durability, they also promote better health and wellbeing,” he stated .

In his remark, the Controller of Corrections, Ondo State Command, Mr Charles Oyewole, thanked the minister for his transformative reforms across correctional centers.
‎
‎Oyewole urged the inmates to make good use of the mattresses received.
‎”I will like to congratulate our inmates, the recipients of these materials and to encourage them to make judicious use of these materials. They should know that their welfare is germane in the heart of this present administration,” the NCS boss stressed.

Keep up the good work. We need more impactful projects

It's high time we change our system of government in Nigeria. Most ministries are capable of revenue generation but lack initiative while some exist as duplicates in terms of role

The joint committees of the Senate and House of Representatives on Interior, Tuesday, lauded the many reformative efforts of the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, since he assumed office.

The commendations came during the joint session of both committees in the National Assembly, during the appearance of the Minister and members of the interior team, for the 2026 budget defence session.

Chairman, Senate Committee on Interior, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, while giving the commendations on behalf of the joint session, acknowledged the various reforms being undertaken by the minister, saying, such efforts are yielding serious results in placing the country’s image high, within and internationally.

“Each time I pass through our airports now, I feel honored and elated that our immigration service is wearing a new phase. The reforms currently being undertaken by the Minister is yielding appreciable results,” Oshiomhole said.

While he admitted more efforts needed to be done to make the reforms lasting one, the Chairman said the Lawmakers acknowledged the improvements on the various sectors in the ministry.

“Recently, the President directed that the Civil Defence Corps should provide security for the VIPs, though I’m yet to get any, but I have probably seen some with my colleagues. It shows renewed recognition on the part of Mr. President and it shows you’re doing well and your service is entrusted with the protection of lives and properties.

“We have the new CG of Fire Service now and just this morning, the Senate passed a resolution for the Interior to go to Kano, to see for themselves, the fire incidents that raised down many stores, private properties in Kano. So, the effort of Fire Service is also well appreciated.

“The Correctional Service now has a new Head, who is trying his best to put efforts in place, in line with the reforms of the Honorable Minister. I know there are couples of things to do, and I’m sure they will get it done,” the Senator added.

The Chairman, however, tasked the Civil Defence, Correctional, Immigration and Fire Service Board on the ongoing recruitment process, saying applicants who wrote examinations were angling to get their results out on time.

He charged the Board to as a matter of urgent national importance, conclude the recruitment process and release the list for successful applicants.

The promise made few months ago is now a Reality. The fire service Academy will also accommodate the private sector

The attention of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has been drawn to a baseless online report claiming that a specific region of the country has been disqualified from passport issuance. We wish to state categorically that this report is entirely false and a gross misrepresentation of the ongoing government reforms to modernize passport administration.

The reality is that the NIS has introduced a phased onboarding system to migrate passport offices including those in foreign missions to a centralized production framework. This modernization effort, which began in 2024, is designed to enhance efficiency and not exclude any citizen.

The Service has successfully onboarded passport offices in the North East and North Central states of Borno, Yobe, Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger, and Plateau, along with 35 international stations spread across Africa, Asia, Europe and South America.

Furthermore, scheduled migration for the five South East states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo; and five additional international stations (Italy, Greece, Spain, Switzerland and Austria) is currently ongoing within the first quarter of 2026.

Consequently, the service has established a strict work-plan calendar to ensure this transition is seamless and does not disrupt delivery timelines as the goal is to drive the process towards greater efficiency.

Nigeria Immigration Service remains committed to serving all Nigerians equitably, regardless of gender, location, or status.

Federal fire service has no excuse for defaulting in discharging their duties. Improved man power and equipment Nigerians deserves the best service

*TODAY’S POP IN JOS IS FOR 2022 & 2024 RECRUITS — NOT 2025 INTAKE*


The Federal Fire Service wishes to categorically refute the false and misleading claims circulating on social media that the Passing Out Parade (POP) held today was for newly recruited 2025 officers.

It is important to clearly state that the officers commissioned today are not part of the yet-to-be-released 2025 recruitment exercise, as it is still ongoing.

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has described the entertainment industry as a major driver of creativity, employment, and economic growth, noting its expanding influence both locally and globally.

Speaking during a meeting with leaders of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria on Thursday, the minister praised the sector’s “vibrancy and economic relevance.”

TAMPAN, led by its President, Bolaji Amusan, popularly known as Mr Latin, had honoured Tunji-Ojo as the association’s Man of the Year during its last summit in December 2025.

The minister, in a post on his X handle on Friday, said his engagement with the association’s leadership at his office in Abuja followed a recent recognition of his work in public service.
He emphasised the importance of collaboration between government and creative industry stakeholders to strengthen national development.

Tunji-Ojo reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting the creative sector, noting its role in talent development and economic expansion.

He said, “Our entertainment industry stands unmatched; the dazzling crown jewel of Nigeria; bursting with unrivaled creativity, infectious laughter, soul-stirring drama, and economic fire that continues to conquer the globe as it brings endless delight to every home. I spent most of the afternoon with the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), led by the President, Otunba Bolaji Amusan, popularly known as Mr. Latin.

This warm engagement follows the recent honour bestowed on me as the ‘Man of the Year’ during their National Professional and Empowerment Summit, a recognition that deeply appreciates the reforms and service delivery strides in the Ministry of Interior.

“We had fruitful discussions on potential areas of collaboration, as governance remains a collective responsibility among committed patriots and stakeholders.

“Together, we reaffirmed our shared commitment to nurturing and empowering Nigeria’s creative talents through fostering partnerships that drive broader national development.”

In his remarks, Mr Latin applauded the minister for his transformative initiatives at the ministry, which informed the TAMPAN Man of the Year award.

“We are very proud of you,” he said.

The TAMPAN president also sought the minister’s collaboration on movies spotlighting security measures, especially at the country’s border areas. He further informed the minister of the planned World Theatre Day in March 2027 and invited him to grace the occasion.

Public servants needs more of this unscheduled visit this will make the more conscious to be accountable in their duties.

Nigerians deserve the best.
Public servants need to learn accountability and discipline if they must provide the best service

One of the things everyone quietly desires is acceptance. This cuts across all genders, ages, and walks of life. It is therefore important that we ask ourselves an honest question: Why do I choose to associate with or acknowledge certain people?
The truth is simple,because they have something to offer. They possess value that is not common or easily found.
We all desire change and want to be associated with excellence. While some see the price of excellence as too expensive and burdensome to bear, others choose to give themselves wholly to it. For such individuals, breaking new ground, creating pathways where no foot has touched, and building towering legacies are not lofty dreams but deliberate goals.

This is the result of consistency and accountability built over time. As the saying goes, “Seest thou a man diligent in his ways? He shall stand before kings and not mere men.” Excellence, therefore, is the true distinguishing factor—a valid currency in every season.

For instance, it is common knowledge that opposing parties rarely find common ground; yet excellence has a way of commanding respect beyond differences, drawing acknowledgment even from unlikely quarters.

A few days ago, I read an article in which a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Raphael Ajisafe, commended the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for his performance in office. In his words, Tunji-Ojo has distinguished himself through diligence, competence, and patriotism.

Such commendation is not earned through mere service, but through leadership that is result-oriented and people-driven.

Therefore, if you ever feel unaccepted or disliked, see it as a call for honest self-evaluation, ask yourself what value you bring to the table and how consistently you are committed to excellence.

He understood that the tactics were instrument of distraction and Since he heard nothing to hide. Allowing due process won't be hard

With the level of people falling and dieing suddenly it's necessary to make healthy a priority

It's good one can now follow up the process to know when it's ready without having to know "who knows who".

Scrutiny strengthens reforms, but it must remain constructive and responsible to sustain national progress. While the exact cause of the delay cannot be ascertained, it is important to note that many applicants received their passports within the stipulated timeframe. Overall, the system requires continuous improvement and grooming to deliver even better outcomes.

TemporaryHansel:
I've come to realize that lecturers hate this country. If not so, why can't they be patriotic and teach for free?

They should know that the Nigeria government, regardless of who is in power, or the form, would likely not honour any agreement reached with them, therefore they should stop going on strike.

As funny as this may sound. They are humans and they have families to support.
Just that sometimes their demands may be excessive

89 is good but we can do better.
Nigeria has the potential to rank better I trust the current Minister to make it happen

I would really love to know what the school is doing about this.
