Gov. Wike commends Buhari govt, immigration on introduction of E-passport
The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has commended the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government for introducing the Electronic-Passport with 10-year validity.Wike spoke during the roll-out of the enhanced E-Passport in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital on Tuesday.He said, “Let me thank the Nigeria Immigration Service for their giant strides in the area of the Electronic Passport. It will help towards security and other trends.
Wike noted that the requirement that all those seeking to obtain the International Passport must have National Identity Number is key. Governor Wike, however, said that the requirement that Nigerians must supply their BVN before obtaining the E-Passport was not necessary. “As a Governor, you know my salary, you know my account and this can be collected from the Code of Conduct Bureau. It is not hidden. ”“Federal Agencies should stop depending fully on State Governments for their operations. The responsibility is too enormous.
He said: “I want to thank you for this innovation. I know that since you launched it here, I should also do something good, but not today.
