In his remarks at the conferment ceremony which held at Dambazzau Hall, Nigeria Correctional Service Headquarters, the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf
Aregbesola, announced the arrival of Nigeria’s brown card after the approval of Mr. President and the Federal Executive Council. The Brown Card he stated is a new legal instrument to permanent residency for eligible foreign nationals.
“I am happy to announce the Brown Card, as the legal instrument to Permanent Residency. The Minister of Interior is now invested with the authority to confer Permanent Residency on non- Nigerian persons, enabling such beneficiaries to live and work in Nigeria without the requirement of renewal every five years, as was the case.
“The legal instrument that would confer this newly created status is to be called the brown card.
Presenting all deserving foreign nationals to President Buhari for conferment of Nigeria citizenship, Aregbesola asserted that foreigners striving to become Nigerian citizens in their numbers, is an indication that the ongoing efforts of the Federal Government to make Nigeria a destination for investment and peaceful coexistence is yielding good fruits.
He said; “I need to state that the acquisition of the Nigerian citizenship is a great privilege and not everyone that applies becomes successful.
