The Ministry of Interior, under the Federal Government, has announced its preparedness to revolutionise citizenship management and business administration in Nigeria. Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, while unveiling a new handbook on Citizenship Administration in Nigeria, highlighted its potential to contribute to the country’s development.
The handbook outlines criteria for citizenship acquisition, including conditions for foreigners and those born outside Nigeria to Nigerian parents. It also introduces guidelines for “citizenship by investment,” requiring evidence of a minimum one million United States dollars. Tunji-Ojo emphasized the transformative impact of this document on Nigeria’s citizenship and business management.
He said, “A greater Nigeria is here. You and I are here for a Nigeria that will work for all of us, both the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor. With the Renewed Hope Agenda, what Nigerians are yearning for has come to stay. There is no need for anybody to shake hands before you can do business here.
“We practicalise what has been codified in the handbook, Nigeria will grow at a rate that’s proportionate with its rich human and material resources.
“We have taken a critical look at the Citizenship Administration in Nigeria together with major stakeholders, especially the Ministry of Justice and made far-reaching amendments to the document in a way that the country would become better in all aspects of life. ”
Tunji-Ojo stated, “It is therefore our hope that what has been codified in the handbook will be a reality to enhance internal security in terms of entrance and exiting, granting of business permits, naturalisation, and the protection of marriage institutions in Nigeria.”
