The federal government through the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has directed the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to deploy new printers to the passport offices in the Nigerian Consulate in Atlanta and New York, United States of America.
This is coming a few days after a petition by a group of Nigerians in the Diaspora.
The petitioners had appealed to the minister to act after detailing challenges being faced by Nigerians in dire need of consular services in the two cities.
In response, Tunji-Ojo in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Alao Babatunde, acknowledged receipt of the petition while announcing his directive to the NIS.
