Nigerian Ambassador to Spain Okezie Ikpeazu with the Nigerian Immigration Service Staff and other Embassy officials.
Nigerians living outside Madrid will soon have easier access to passport enrolment services following the deployment of a Mobile Enrolment Unit by the Nigeria Immigration Service to the Nigerian Embassy in Spain. The Ambassador of Nigeria to Spain, Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, said the initiative would reduce the burden of long-distance travel for passport applicants residing in provinces far from the Spanish capital. According to a statement issued by the Embassy on Friday, Ikpeazu stated this when the Head of the Immigration Section at the Nigerian Embassy in Madrid, Mr Ayotunde Adigun, formally presented the mobile enrolment equipment to him alongside other embassy officials. The statement noted that Ikpeazu said, “the deployment of the MEU will significantly ease the enrolment process for Nigerian passport applicants residing in provinces far from Madrid. “The initiative is a practical and citizen-centred intervention that will reduce the burden of long-distance travel, save time and resources for applicants, and bring essential consular services closer to Nigerians living across Spain”.
