Ikpeazu Hails Immigration Service Over Mobile Passport Enrolment Unit in Madrid

The Nigerian Ambassador to Spain, Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, has praised the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) for deploying a Mobile Enrolment Unit (MEU) to the Nigerian Embassy in Madrid to ease passport applications for Nigerians living across Spain.

Ikpeazu commended the Comptroller-General of Immigration, KN Nandap, for approving the deployment, describing it as a practical intervention that will bring consular services closer to Nigerians outside the Spanish capital.

The ambassador spoke on Friday, November 13, 2026, during the formal presentation of the equipment by the Head of the Embassy’s Immigration Section, Ayotunde Adigun, in the presence of other embassy officials.

He said the initiative would particularly benefit Nigerians residing in provinces far from Madrid, who often travel long distances to complete passport enrolment.

According to him, the mobile unit will reduce the cost and inconvenience of such journeys while saving applicants valuable time and resources.

Ikpeazu expressed appreciation to Nandap and the NIS leadership for responding to the needs of Nigerians in Spain.

He also reaffirmed the embassy’s commitment to providing efficient and accessible consular services to Nigerians within its jurisdiction.

The ambassador urged eligible applicants to take advantage of the facility once the Immigration Section announces its operational schedule.

He assured Nigerians that the embassy would continue to explore measures to improve service delivery and make consular assistance more accessible to citizens across the country.
