Ronaldo scores hat-trick as Al Nassr thrash Rio Ave


A United States-based innovator and tech entrepreneur, Prof. Ndubuisi Ekekwe has recounted how he got a passport for his son within minutes in the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, DC, unlike in the past when it would have taken months.
He made this known in a statement through his X account, commending the Nigerian government for transforming the country’s embassy in Washington.
According to him, the Nigerian Embassy, which used to be like Terminus Market Jos, Ariaria Market Aba, and Oshodi Market Lagos, is now calm.
He said what Nigeria has done in the passport issuance system in America can be replicated in other areas.
“Good People, I had a business in Washington, DC, yesterday and got into the Nigerian embassy to get a passport for my younger boy. When I went to the embassy, I found less than 12 people who came to possibly get a passport/visa. And within minutes, everyone was gone. The workers there were EXCELLENT.
“In short, I could not believe the level of transformation that the team has engineered—that a place that used to look like Terminus Market Jos, Ariaria Market Aba, and Oshodi Market Lagos is now calm.” I want to commend the government, the minister in charge of the embassy, the consulate general, and all the people executing the mission. You have all done well.
“In the past it used to be a mayhem with young people asking for help to get their passports, which have been waiting for months. What I saw yesterday (Thursday) was a world-class system in all forms. Truly commendable.”
That takes me to this point: whatever Nigeria has done in the passport issuance system in America, can we replicate it in other areas? They have fixed this problem that I assume no one needs any big man or woman for a passport. Little things, and one by one, Nigeria can improve. “Salute to the #TeamPassportNigeria,” he wrote on X.
DAILY POST reports that the Nigerian government, through the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has revamped passport issuance in the past months.
