President Bola Tinubu continues to earn praise for his bold reforms, especially in the area of passport processing. Recently, a key figure in the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Tony Okocha, publicly applauded the President’s efforts. He described the changes as timely and impactful.
Speaking in Port Harcourt, Okocha noted that Tinubu’s passport reforms have improved the experience for many Nigerians. Applicants now face shorter waiting times and benefit from more transparent procedures. He explained that this marks a welcome shift from the past, when citizens endured long delays and unclear requirements.
Chief Okocha credited the Ministry of Interior and the Nigeria Immigration Service for executing the President’s vision effectively. Their efforts, he said, demonstrate that leadership matters and that efficient governance is achievable. Tinubu’s approach focuses on results, giving Nigerians renewed hope.
According to Okocha, the reforms go beyond physical infrastructure. He highlighted the role of technology in improving the system’s efficiency. Nigerians can now apply online, track progress, and receive timely updates. This digital shift helps reduce corruption and rebuild trust.
Okocha shared a recent personal experience to support his point. He applied for a passport renewal and received it faster than expected. For him, this outcome reflects the success of Tinubu’s passport reforms and shows how leadership at the top can deliver positive change.
He also urged Nigerians to support the administration and allow time for further reforms to take effect. Many citizens, he noted, are beginning to feel the benefits of good governance, especially in service delivery. The public now encounters fewer reasons to pay illegal fees or rely on middlemen.
President Tinubu has emphasized his administration’s commitment to efficiency, transparency, and innovation. The passport reforms clearly demonstrate how policy changes can improve everyday life. He envisions a system where all citizens can access essential services without stress or discrimination.
Analysts have observed the ripple effect of the reforms. Travel agencies, business owners, and families all report that planning international travel has become easier. Processing delays once cost people valuable opportunities, but that trend is shifting.
The government plans to sustain this progress. It will build more passport offices, upgrade facilities, and train staff. These steps aim to ensure that all Nigerians, both at home and abroad, continue to benefit from the reforms.
In closing, Chief Okocha said President Tinubu’s leadership is delivering tangible results. He believes other sectors will experience similar transformations if the current momentum continues. Nigerians are watching—and many are starting to believe that meaningful change is possible under this administration.
