Aregbesola<\/a> said this at the President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s Administration Scorecard 2015-2023 4th edition Series organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture.<\/p>\nThe News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the scorecard series was launched by the ministry to showcase the achievements of the present Administration.<\/p>\n
The minister gave the assurance that enough booklets are available for those who had applied for passports and had been captured or yet to be captured.<\/p>\n
He said the government stopped the 24-hour passport services because of the criminalities and sharp practices involved in it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome criminalities had occurred before we came and that has affected the Nigerian psyche on passports. Passports is the most secure identity document of any nation.<\/p>\n
\u201dIt is the document that the president of the country attests to its first page recommending the citizens for good consideration from whoever comes across them.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it is not just a document to play with. It is the symbol of the sovereignty of a nation,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
Aregbesola said that there are difference in the way passports are issued by countries across the globe.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn America, it takes 15 weeks to process, in Britain it takes 13 weeks and Japan is a country that has the shortest period for passport processes in the world, one week,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
The minister said the minimum period for processing a passport in Nigeria is six weeks in order to allow the appropriate authority carry out diligent security checks.<\/p>\n
Aregbesola said the real challenge with passport application process is the bottleneck in the processing system.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will not deny the fact that we do not have enough processing centers and we\u2019re working on that.<\/p>\n
\u201cLagos and Abuja are so problematic because we have limited processing centers. Lagos has three processing centers whereas the state ought to have minimal of 20 processing centers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working on partnership with private sector to provide only front office services where Nigerians can readily and easily do capturing for their passports while the main issuance will be for the Immigration.\u201d<\/p>\n
The minister reassured Nigerians within and outside the country of efficient service delivery in the issuance of international passports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
