Tunji-Ojo has been receiving praise for his work in the Federal Ministry of Interior since his appointment by President Bola Tinubu.
In January, he launched an online passport application portal to allow Nigerians to apply for passports seamlessly.
The minister noted that Nigerian applicants who want 32-page passports with five-year validity would pay N35,000, while those who want 64-page passports with a 10-year validity would pay N70,000.
Foreign applicants, who wish to apply for passports with a five-year validity period and 32 pages, will pay $130, while those who prefer passports with a 10-year validity period and 64 pages will pay $230.
