Passport issuance at the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has been plagued by frustrating delays in the recent past, mostly influenced by erratic power supply.

To this end, the Heirs Insurance Group donated a 30KVA solar power station to the Ikoyi Passport Office to facilitate 24-hour passport production.

The Non-Executive Director of Heirs Holdings, the parent company of the Heirs Insurance Group, Dr. Awele Elumelu, led the delegation for the ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Wura-Ola Adepoju.

Elumelu said the move empowers the Lagos Passport Office to overcome power interruptions to ease the frustrations faced by many Nigerians in the process.

She also drew attention to the deliberate use of solar power, which aligns with the Group’s commitment to clean energy solutions, a facet of its long-term sustainability goals.

In response, the Immigrations CG lauded the initiative of Heirs Insurance Group and assured that the project will significantly improve service delivery.
