Nigerian government has resolved the passport printer crisis at Nigeria’s consulates in New York and Atlanta, United States.
Guided by the directives given by Nigerian Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in January 2025, the Nigeria Immigration Service delivered and installed new passport printers at both consulates on Tuesday
The move follows recent calls from Nigerians in the diaspora, who raised concerns about delays in the passport application process due to outdated printing machines.
In a statement signed on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Media, Babatunde Alao, the Minister of Interior, Tunji-Ojo said: “The Ministry is committed to innovation and improved service delivery.
“The installation of these new printers demonstrates our dedication to addressing the needs of Nigerians at home and abroad.”
