The minister said one of the objectives of the present administration was to lay a solid socio-economic and political foundation.
The federal government has conferred Nigerian citizenship on 385 foreign nationals from different continents across the world.
“Today’s conferment ceremony will be granted to 385 foreigners who have gone through diligent checks by the relevant agencies of state as stipulated by the constitution and have fulfilled all statutory and administrative requirements. The minister said that it was under the present administration that the largest number of foreigners had been naturalised.
“They do this to attract youths and people in their prime who would like to contribute to the development of their countries. He, therefore, urged the relevant institutions of state to reconsider this in the next effort at an amendment to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.“Also, while the foreign wives of Nigerian men can automatically become citizens through registration, this same privilege is not available to foreign husbands of Nigerian women.
