The Federal Government has revealed that the coming general elections will be conducted under a peaceful and secure atmosphere.
This assurance was given by the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, on Thursday, at a State House Press Briefing Series, highlighting the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari in the Ministry.
According to the Minister, “peace and security are necessary conditions for election.
All the security agencies in the country, including the NSCDC, are therefore on top of their game. They will leave no stone unturned to provide adequate security for the conduct of free and fair elections. Nigerians should therefore keep their minds at rest”.
The Minister also disclosed that the Nigerian Passports issued by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) increased numerically from one million in 2021 to 1.9 million in 2022. This is about 80 per cent increase and it is unprecedented.
The Minister said that the Ministry of Interior is working with the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to constantly reform the passport administration process in order to deliver improved services to Nigerians at all times.
