The publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Comrade Darlington Nwauju, has said the Federal Ministry of Interior under Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has recorded a lot of transformation, since he was appointed minister in August 2023.

Nwauju disclosed to newsmen after participating in the APC’s nationwide e-membership registration/revalidation exercise at Obiohia Ward 3, Polling Unit 17 in Omuma local government area.

“Without ambiguity, Nigerians across different strata can agree with me that all four paramilitary agencies under the Interior Ministry has witnessed textbook reforms – improved border management, checking smuggling/trafficking activities via the use of advanced technological platforms.

“Prioritizing staff welfare/wellbeing with the promotion of over 75,202 officers across all four paramilitary agencies, increment in feeding allowance for inmates at correctional centres nationwide, clearing a backlog of 204,332 passports.

“Standardization of our international passports, introducing centralized data capturing at the NIS, introduction of contactless E-gates to cut down travel time and improve security checks, modernization of fire stations etc,” he said.

The APC chieftain urged party members across Omuma LGA in Rivers State and beyond to take advantage of the one week extension and participate in the ongoing nationwide E-membership registration exercise of the party.

Nwauju stated that he elected to revalidate his membership of the party to re-echo his much publicised support for the policy of verifiable transformation in the Interior Ministry.

He appealed to the leadership of the APC in Nigeria not to underestimate the potency of pending litigations involving the party in Rivers State to avoid the 2019 experience.
