it to ease travel for citizens in Spain
Nigeria has deployed a mobile passport enrolment unit to its embassy in Madrid in an effort to cut long-distance travel for citizens living across Spain.
The portable unit will allow consular officials to process biometric data and passport applications in provinces far from the Spanish capital, sparing applicants the time and expense of travelling to Madrid.
Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, Okezie Ikpeazu, welcomed the rollout on Friday after the equipment was formally presented to him by the embassy’s immigration head, Ayotunde Adigun. Mr Ikpeazu praised the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kemi Nandap, for approving the equipment, calling it a “practical and citizen-centred intervention” that brings essential services closer to the diaspora.
The embassy said it would soon announce operational schedules for regional outreach and urged eligible Nigerians to make use of the service.
