 AU urges de-escalation as fighting displaces over 180,000 in South Sudan’s Jonglei state The Chairperson of the African Union Commission called for immediate de-escalation and strict adherence to South Sudan’s 2018 peace agreement, as renewed fighting in Jonglei State displaced more than 180,000 people and raised fears of further civilian harm. In a statement, African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf said he was deeply concerned by the deteriorating security situation in parts of the country, particularly Jonglei, where escalating violence and inflammatory rhetoric have put civilians—including women and children—at heightened risk. South Sudanese authorities estimate the number of displaced in Jonglei at more than 180,000, the United Nations humanitarian agency OCHA said last week. He urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint, de-escalate tensions immediately, and comply fully with the permanent ceasefire and power-sharing arrangements under the agreement, T...

‘Stop wasting people’s time’— Interior minister blasts officials during surprise visit to passport office


The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, on Tuesday paid an unannounced visit to the Nigerian Immigration Service passport office in Gwagwalada, Abuja, where he condemned delays in passport processing and warned applicants against making extra payments.


Tunji-Ojo inspected operations at the VIP and Children section of the passport office and engaged both officials and applicants, questioning why people were still waiting long after the office was expected to begin service.


During the visit, the minister took feedback from applicants and cautioned them against paying money outside official fees, insisting that Nigerians had “paid for their passports completely” and should not be charged for additional items. “I don’t want to hear that you are collecting money for diesel or paper. Nigerians have paid for their passports completely. Serve them diligently,” he said.


He expressed displeasure that only a few applicants had been attended to hours after opening time, despite the section being designated for expedited service. “So it means that by 9:30am, I expect to see at least one or two applicants here. Because I can see some people waiting downstairs, and our responsibility is to be efficient,” he said.


The minister questioned officials on the pace of enrolment and biometric capturing, noting that each applicant should be processed within minutes. “How long does it take to do an enrolment? Three minutes. So three times seven, that is twenty-one minutes,” he said.


Immigration officers acknowledged that although the office was scheduled to open by 8am, operations began later after the generator was switched on at about 9am. “We are supposed to open by eight,” one official said, explaining that power was put on after applicants had arrived.
