Passport Front Offices To Open Across UK By February 2024 – Interior Minister

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, says passport front offices are scheduled to open in some major cities across the United Kingdom, including Manchester, Birmingham, and Cardiff (Wales), in three months.

Speaking on the Tuesday edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, the minister addressed the concerns of Nigerians in the diaspora over difficulties renewing their passports at foreign missions.

“I think there are only two places where we have this challenge now, realistically. I think in the UK, precisely, London and in the US — precisely, in New York. And that has to do with the concentration of Nigerians,” Tunji-Ojo admitted

Zeroing in on the UK, where several viral cases have been recorded, he argued the only solution was to open passport front offices in key cities by February 2024

There is no quick fix. But we have ensured Nigerians that by February next year, we would have opened our front offices such that we’ll have front offices in Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff in Wales, and Scotland,” the minister said.
