Nigerians living outside Madrid are set to enjoy easier access to passport enrolment services following the deployment of a Mobile Enrolment Unit (MEU) to the Nigerian Embassy in Spain.
The Ambassador of Nigeria to Spain, Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, commended the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), KN Nandap, for approving the deployment, describing it as a practical intervention that will bring essential consular services closer to Nigerians across the country.
Ikpeazu gave the commendation on Friday, November 13, 2026, when the Head of the Immigration Section at the Embassy, Mr Ayotunde Adigun, formally presented the mobile enrolment equipment to him in the presence of other embassy officials.
The Ambassador said the initiative would particularly benefit Nigerians living in provinces far from Madrid, who previously had to travel long distances to access passport enrolment services.
He noted that the mobile unit would reduce the cost and stress of travelling, save applicants valuable time and make passport-related services more accessible to Nigerians across Spain.
Ikpeazu also expressed appreciation to the Comptroller-General and the leadership of the Nigeria Immigration Service for responding to the needs of the Nigerian community in Spain.
He reaffirmed the Embassy’s commitment to improving the quality, accessibility and efficiency of consular services available to Nigerians within its jurisdiction.
The Ambassador urged eligible Nigerians to take advantage of the mobile enrolment service once the operational schedule is announced.
He assured the Nigerian community that the Embassy would continue to explore opportunities to improve service delivery and make consular assistance more accessible.
