30/09/2014

 Ministry of Defence, National Security and Immigration will be displaying their services at the Government Service Centre this week.

The ministry’s director for national security Viliame Wilikilagi said that the Ministry was focussing on the creating opportunities for the public to learn more about the services that they provide.

“We want to bring the services closer to the public especially in the areas of passport application and the issuance of permits for security companies,” Mr Wilikilagi said.

“We have the relevant agencies like the Fiji Police Force and the of Fiji Military Forces, this will be a good opportunity for youths to find out how they can seek employment in this area,” he said.

Mr Wilikilagi encouraged members of the public to visit the various booths and learn more on the different services provided by the ministry.

Tomu Kolitagane of Lautoka visited the booth this morning and was delighted with the services displayed at the centre.

“These types of services will be very helpful to the public especially when we apply for passport, I was able to get access to a form and apply for my passport instead of lining up at the main office,” Mr Kolitagane said.

Representatives from the Fiji Police Force, Department of Immigration and RFMF will also be part of the week-long exhibition.

Immigration officer Rasieli Bau encouraged the general public to visit the booths if they have questions on issuance and renewal of passports and applications on citizenship.

The exhibition which started on Monday opens from 8am to 4.30pm from today until Thursday, 8am to 4pm on Friday and 8am to 12pm on Saturday.
