“He said: “Let me thank the Nigeria Immigration Service for its giant strides in the area of the Electronic Passport.”
The Governor, who made the call on Tuesday in Port Harcourt at the roll-out of the enhanced E-Passport, lauded the Nigeria Immigration Service for introducing the e-passport.
“The introduction of E-Passport is indeed commendable because of its improved security features and other key features of the passport. “The integration with the national identity number is very important. It is an innovation which is encouraging,’’ he said. “I told them, you have my salary account, go and check my BVN. I don’t know how the BVN has become a factor in the issuance of international passport. That is not acceptable.
Adegoke, who represented the Comptroller General of NIS, Mr Mohammad Babandede, said the new e-passport regime offered options of five years and 10-year validity to save bonafide Nigerians from frequent visits to replace their passports.
