Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the Minister of Interior, has stated that it is a “stupid practice” for married women to be subjected to the stress of travelling to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) headquarters in Abuja just to effect a data change.

Ojo who said this at a dinner with members of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu ABAT Media Centre and some social media influencers in Abuja, asked if the immigration personnel in Abuja have more than one head as opposed to those in the various passport offices across the Federation.

He said;

“There is one stupid thing I have seen and it is that a woman gets married, changes her name and then she has to come to Abuja all the way from say Kaura Namoda or Enugu just to come and effect a change of name in her passport. It is absurd.

“I can’t just figure it that you want to change just your name and you have to be in Abuja. I have asked the immigration people, is it that immigration people in Abuja have more than one head than those in the states?”
