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 (MEU) to the Nigerian Embassy in Madrid. 
The facility is expected to ease passport enrolment for Nigerians living in provinces far from the Spanish capital by reducing the cost, time and inconvenience associated with travelling long distances to access immigration services.

Ikpeazu gave the commendation on Friday, November 13, 2026, when the Head of the Embassy’s Immigration Section, Ayotunde Adigun, formally presented the mobile enrolment unit to him in the presence of other embassy officials.
The ambassador described the initiative as a practical, citizen-centred intervention that would bring essential consular services closer to Nigerians living across Spain.
He noted that the deployment will significantly ease the passport enrolment process for applicants residing in provinces far away from Madrid, while saving them the time and resources required for repeated long-distance journeys.
Ikpeazu expressed appreciation to Nandap and the leadership of the Nigeria Immigration Service for responding to the needs of the Nigerian community in Spain.
He also reaffirmed the embassy’s commitment to providing efficient, accessible and quality consular services to Nigerians within its jurisdiction.
The ambassador urged eligible passport applicants to take advantage of the facility once the operational schedules are announced.
He assured Nigerians in Spain that the embassy would continue to explore measures to improve service delivery and make consular services more accessible to members of the community.
The deployment of the Mobile Enrolment Unit is expected to improve access to passport services for Nigerians living outside Madrid, particularly those who previously had to undertake lengthy journeys to complete their enrolment.
