In a significant move towards enhancing transparency and efficiency, the Federal Ministry of Interior has unveiled its new Online Citizenship and Business Management Platform. The announcement, made on Friday by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Magdalene Ajani, signals a major step in streamlining critical government services for citizens, corporate entities, and other stakeholders.
The newly launched digital platform is designed to modernize the application and processing of a range of essential services, including citizenship applications, business permit processing, and the administration of regulations concerning businesses and foreign workers. This digital overhaul promises to significantly reduce turnaround times and provide a more user-friendly experience for all involved.
According to Ajani, this initiative is a key component of the Ministry’s ongoing reform efforts. By leveraging technology, the Ministry aims to foster greater transparency in its operations, boost overall efficiency, and ultimately deliver improved services to the public.
The platform will serve as a central hub for managing various crucial processes. For individuals seeking Nigerian citizenship, the online system will offer a more organized and potentially faster route for application and follow-up. Similarly, businesses looking to obtain permits or navigate regulations related to their operations and foreign employees will benefit from a more streamlined and accessible system.
Permanent Secretary Ajani urged the public and relevant organizations to utilize the official channels for accessing the new platform. These include the Ministry of Interior’s official website (https://interior.gov.ng) and direct access via the dedicated portal (https://candb.interior.gov.ng). For any support or inquiries related to the platform, users can reach out via email at candb-support@interior.gov.ng.
This digital transformation initiative underscores the Ministry of Interior’s commitment to building a more efficient, transparent, and secure framework for citizenship administration. By embracing digital solutions, the Ministry aims to continuously enhance its service delivery and adapt to the evolving needs of the public and the business community in Abuja and beyond. The launch of this platform is a positive indicator of the government’s focus on leveraging technology to improve governance and facilitate ease of doing business in the nation’s capital.
