The Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who disclosed this in Abuja, said ports remained a national identity and vital documents to all citizens and its sanctity should be well protected.

According to him the new conditions/templates introduced as prerequisites for obtaining or renewing ports were instituted to curb the acquisition of Nigerian ports by non-citizens.

Dr Tunji-Ojo, who was fielding questions from reporters on the issue, emphasised that port is a security document exclusive to Nigerian citizens.

He explained that the new conditions would not only impede non-Nigerians from acquiring the port but frustrate attempts to fake the document in view of its security features.

He lamented that foreigners have exploited the inefficiencies of the previous system to acquire the documents.

He however acknowledged challenges faced by applicants for the new port, assuring the public of an enhanced process in the coming weeks.
“We are building a future for Nigerians where things should be done in a better way. We changed the price of five-year port because the 10-year port is N70, 000; so, the one for five years should be half of that amount, which is N35. 000. We are committed to making things better in our country,” the Minister added.

Send SOS message to the minister he recently made public his channel number. I don't where I wrote it I would have send it

I hope the extortion stops

I wish the minister success ... anything to move this country forward.

But I hope they don't make a mess of this like other initiatives like New naira note, NIN , sim registration, etc...

Alright

I love good news.

The rot in Nigeria immigration service port offices is massive.
Even with all these measures Nigerian port will still be acquired by some foreigners.

Sacking loading, stubborn civil servants

So, what are the conditions? He didn't say.

Ok

Correct Minister!

No new conditions for getting port were mentioned in the write up.

Ok

I wonder what this guy is still doing there despite the obvious. He has good ideas yes, but nobody is above the law. He really disappointed many, including my humble self.

Is that all he has to say? Well the immigration officers know how to extort those who are applying for port...

So, this criminal is still walking free but Betta Edu is suspended?

Why is Gbajabiamila and Tinubu giving cover to an obvious criminal?

Tribalism is Nigeria's biggest problem.

He refused to honour CCB invitation, has not refunded the #442m fraudulently received from Ministery of Humanitarian Affairs ... yet, everywhere is silent.
.

The guy has something upstairs and knows his onions by thinking smart and on his feet.

They will certainly hate the minister.

Those who have educated their children on funds derived from corruption and acquired many assets from such funds.
