This initiative, directed by Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, aims to simplify and expedite the passport process for Nigerians living abroad. The team will collaborate with the Nigerian High Commission in the UK to process applications and conduct enrolment in various cities across the UK, allowing applicants to access services without traveling to a central location. The intervention targets individuals with pending applications, first-time applicants, and holders of passports expiring within a year. The NIS encourages applicants to monitor official communication channels for the schedule, dates, venues, and times of the passport enrolment events.",
