The Federal Government has on Wednesday, inaugurated a new passport office in Oyo town of Oyo State.
The new office which is located in Oyo town, was inaugurated by the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola in Oke-Apitipiti area of the town.
The minister in his address stated that the development was borne out of the high demand for passports in Nigeria in recent times.
He added that it is also aimed at reducing the long waiting period of applicants and ensuring a seamless process as about 14,000 applications are waiting for appointments at the Ibadan passport office.
Meanwhile, the new passport office is a welcome development for residents of Oyo town and its environs, who will no longer have to travel long distances to obtain or renew their passport booklets.
