“My assessment: this Minister is setting a good record early in his job. This is how public officials should approach their task: Service delivery. My late father Isaac Moghalu was Nigeria’s first Chief Passport Control Officer in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1961-1963.”

The minister has reiterated his commitment to deliver his 8-point promises in line with the #RenewedHope agenda of President Bola TInubu.
