The minister of interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, says no Nigerian would have to wait more than two weeks for an international passport henceforth.

He announced this in a press conference while giving an update on the status of the passport backlog in the country.

Tunji-Ojo said: “No one will ever wait for two weeks to get passports again. If you apply and have been captured, you will get your passport within two weeks.”

He added: “People will be able to upload their passport and supporting documents online. Only biometrics will be taken at the passport office.

“We are introducing passport front offices where people can go and process their passport close to where they reside. Solution providers have been given three months to activate this or their contract will be revoked.”

While urging Nigerians not to bribe any official for passports, Tunji-Ojo said they should reach the Ministry of Interior via 08023753414 and [email protected] if asked for a bribe at any passport office within the country.
