The Barbados Immigration Department has been heralded as one of
Government's "top departments", and a beacon for
others to follow.
Minister of Home Affairs, Information and Public Affairs,
Wilfred Abrahams, showered the department with praise before
welcoming the first new "Bajan" citizens for 2022, during
an induction ceremony at the department this morning.
"It is a beacon, an example for others to follow as to what
service looks like, as to what a good approach should look like, as
to what output from government should look like," he said.
Noting that the Immigration Department was traditionally a place
persons did not want to go to, Mr. Abrahams said there was a
complete shift in the perception of, and turnaround in the Barbados
Immigration Department, to the point that the backlog was almost at
zero.
