Prof Ndubuisi Ekekwe, a US-based Nigerian, has hailed the Federal Government of Nigeria for the transformation of the country’s international passport and visa services.
The inventor and entrepreneur, who specifically praised the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, said this after a visit to the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, DC. According to Ekekwe, he was in the Embassy on August 6, 2025, to process his son’s international passport. The Lead Faculty of Tekedia Institute and Chairman of Tekedia Capital said he was impressed by both the services and staff.
The Harvard Business Review writer, since 2019, wrote on his X handle on August 7: “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 fewer than 12 people who came to get a passport/visa. Moreover, within minutes, everyone was gone. The workers there were excellent.
“In short, I could not believe the level of transformation which the team has engineered, that a place which 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,” he said.
