The Federal Government has expressed its commitment to streamlining and enhancing the efficiency of government services for Nigerians both at home and abroad in line with the Renewed Hope agenda of this administration.

Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, said this on Friday while listing some economic benefits of the newly launched Contactless Passport applications.

He noted that this was only the beginning of good things to come from the ongoing reforms initiated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, adding that the reforms would be expanded by bringing government services closer to the people, efficiently and with the adoption of modern technology.

The Minister described the launch of the Contactless Passport applications in Europe, the UK, and Ireland as a significant advancement following its successful implementation in Canada.

Tunji-Ojo, in a statement he personally signed, commended President Bola Tinubu for providing needed leadership in the country.

“Today marks yet another pivotal moment in our commitment to streamline and enhance the efficiency of government services for Nigerians both at home and abroad in line with the Renewed Hope agenda of this administration.

“As with the case in Canada, this innovative system is designed to eliminate the traditional hurdles associated with passport renewals. Now, eligible Nigerians in Europe can renew their passports entirely online from the comfort of their homes and offices.

“This initiative not only reduces the inconvenience of travel and long waiting times but also brings the services of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) directly to your digital doorstep,” Tunji-Ojo said.

He said the launch underscored efficiency in government services by allowing passport renewals to be conducted without physical presence. This helps cut down processing times significantly, the Minister added.

The Minister noted that accessibility as a key factor also ensured that Nigerians in the diaspora experience government services with ease, regardless of their location.

Tunji-Ojo said modernization of the processes as another key factor means “embracing technology to meet the contemporary needs of our citizens in line with our pledge to digital transformation of the country as we race towards achieving the 1-trillion-dollar economy ambition of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR).”

He said, “The Nigerian diaspora is an integral part of our national fabric, which contributes immensely to our development. Hence, it is our duty to ensure they have access to services that match the highest standards of professionalism and efficiency.

“As a government, we will continue to uphold transparency without compromising security in all our operations. This launch is only the beginning; we are poised to expand these reforms by bringing government services closer to all Nigerians.

“We look forward to a future where every Nigerian, whether at home or abroad, benefits from our efforts to modernize and humanize government services.”
