Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, has commended the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), KN Nandap, for approving the deployment of a Mobile Enrolment Unit to the Nigerian Embassy in Madrid.
Ikpeazu said the initiative would ease passport enrolment for Nigerians living in provinces far from the Spanish capital by reducing the cost, time and inconvenience associated with travelling to Madrid to access the service.
The ambassador gave the commendation on Friday, November 13, 2026, when the Head of the Embassy’s Immigration Section, Mr Ayotunde Adigun, formally presented the Mobile Enrolment Unit to him in the presence of other embassy officials.
Describing the deployment as a practical, citizen-centred intervention, Ikpeazu said it would bring essential immigration services closer to Nigerians living across Spain.
He expressed appreciation to Nandap and the leadership of the Nigeria Immigration Service for responding to the needs of the Nigerian community, particularly those who face difficulties travelling long distances for passport enrolment.
The ambassador reaffirmed the embassy’s commitment to providing efficient, accessible and quality consular services to Nigerians within its jurisdiction.
Ikpeazu urges Nigerians to take advantage of facility
Ikpeazu urged eligible passport applicants to take full advantage of the mobile enrolment facility once the operational schedule is announced.
He also assured Nigerians in Spain that the embassy would continue working to improve service delivery and make consular assistance more accessible to members of the community.
The deployment is expected to benefit Nigerians residing outside Madrid, although the embassy has yet to announce the commencement date, locations to be covered or detailed enrolment arrangements.
The initiative represents an effort to reduce the logistical challenges associated with accessing Nigerian passport services abroad and improve the delivery of consular services to citizens in Spain.
