Nigerians in Spain to Enjoy Easier Passport Services as Ikpeazu Welcomes Mobile Enrolment Unit

Nigerians living outside Madrid are set to enjoy easier access to passport enrolment services following the deployment of a Mobile Enrolment Unit by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to the Nigerian Embassy in Spain.

Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, who welcomed the initiative, commended the Comptroller-General of Immigration, KN Nandap, for approving the facility, describing it as a significant step towards improving consular services for Nigerians in the diaspora.

Ikpeazu gave the commendation on Friday, November 13, 2026, during the formal presentation of the Mobile Enrolment Unit (MEU) by the Head of the Embassy’s Immigration Section, Mr Ayotunde Adigun, in the presence of other embassy officials.

He said the facility would address the difficulties faced by Nigerians residing in provinces far from Madrid, who often have to undertake long journeys to access passport enrolment services.

According to the Ambassador, the intervention would reduce travel expenses, save time and make essential immigration services more accessible to Nigerians across Spain.

He praised Nandap and the management of the Nigeria Immigration Service for their responsiveness to the needs of the Nigerian community, noting that the deployment reflected a commitment to putting citizens’ welfare at the centre of service delivery.

Ikpeazu also reiterated the embassy’s determination to provide efficient and accessible consular services to Nigerians within its jurisdiction.

He urged eligible passport applicants to take advantage of the facility when the operational schedule is announced, assuring them that the embassy would continue to pursue initiatives that improve service delivery and bring government services closer to Nigerians in Spain.
