Yesterday, I received a team from Discover Motherland led by Timi Ayeni and Chidimma Nwankwo, who are both co-founders. Discover Motherland envisions a globally connected Nigerian community, where members of the diaspora can seamlessly engage with their heritage, contribute to the nation's development, and celebrate the rich culture that unites them all. Under our new Visa Policy, the automated E-visa solution will strengthen our migration management system as well as make the process of applying for the Nigerian visa seamless and reduce approval time especially for tourists and visitors who are on a short-stay mission or assignment. This development aligns with our nation's commitment to facilitating seamless travel experiences and fostering global connections. And, as we strive to create a globally connected world, Nigeria is poised to become a major player by embracing innovative solutions and global best practices, where we can bridge the gap between our diaspora community and the homeland for an inside-out national growth and development. *Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo* *Minister of Interior.* 12/02/2025
