The joint committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives on Interior have commended the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for implementing what lawmakers described as far-reaching reforms across agencies under the ministry.
The commendation was given on Tuesday during a joint session of the committees at the National Assembly, where the minister and his management team appeared for the 2026 budget defence.
Speaking on behalf of the joint session, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior, Adams Oshiomhole, praised the leadership of the minister, noting that the reforms were already producing visible results both within the country and internationally.
Oshiomhole specifically highlighted improvements in the operations of agencies under the Ministry of Interior, particularly the Nigeria Immigration Service.
“Each time I pass through our airports now, I feel honoured and elated that our immigration service is wearing a new phase. The reforms currently being undertaken by the Minister are yielding appreciable results,” he said.
While acknowledging that more work still needs to be done to ensure the sustainability of the reforms, the lawmakers expressed satisfaction with the progress recorded so far, stressing that the improvements across key agencies were clear and commendable.
