In a video he posted, the man said his experience at the Nigerian High Commission in Ottawa, Canada was good.
According to Ademola, he spent only five minutes at the commission’s office when he went for her passport renewal.
Ademola said he never expected to get his passport with such speed.
His words:
“Behind me is the Nigerian High Commission in Canada. What I witnessed today is so surprising, I never expected it. Coming here to renew my passport and it takes less than five minutes. I think this improvement is commendable. We need to commend the minister of interior, Mr Tunji Ojo. I want to use this opportunity to remind our government that greater and better Nigeria is possible. As you improve in this area, I want the government to improve in other areas.”

“How many countries have contactless platforms, even Canadians need to visit Service Canada to renew their passports…we are getting there gradually.”

“How much is new passport and can we do online?”
@TMoney said:
“No, we don’t have to come all the way to Ottawa. They should make the contactless system easy for us.”
@ajplus said:
“Man, you don’t need to go to Ottawa joo.”
@Lawee said:
“Yeah, I had an appointment last week and it was really fast. But what’s the point of them introducing contactless passport renewal that doesn’t work. I had to take days off work to fly down to Ottawa.”
@uche70 said:
“I know several Nigerians who applied for passports through the contactless process in Canada since December/January 2024, yet have not received theirs, and it’s already the third month. So sad!”
