FG Okays 10-year Validity Period For Passports by weyreypey: 12:03am On Jul 27, 2018 |
Comptroller-General of Immigration, Muhammad Babandede Adelani Adepegba, Abuja The Federal Government has approved a 10-year validity period for Nigerian passports. This followed a presidential approval to change the face of the e-passport 10 years after it was introduced in the country. Currently, the passports have a five-year validity period. The Comptroller-General of Nigerian Immigration Service, Muhammed Babandede, who said this in a report monitored on Channels Tv on Thursday, added that the extended validity period would reduce the stress Nigerians went through every five years to renew their passports. “One of the reforms he (President Buhari) has approved is that we would improve the quality, security of our passport booklets. “Ten years after the enrolment of the e-passport system, we need to improve the security features. You can’t keep documents for 10 years without seeing decreased values in them, so we are improving the security features which would raise the standards of the passports,” the CG explained. He added that the President also approved improved security features for the documents. Babandede, however, disclosed that the new passports would cost more, but he did not reveal the new prices for the various categories of the passports. He said, “President Buhari has equally approved 10-year validity for passports which is great news. When the report comes, passports will be valid for 10 years which is great news especially for adults from the age of 18 and above.” “Though people will pay more, if they can pay more and get the booklets quickly, it’s good with improved security for 10 years validity. They would pay more but the document would be available, that’s good,” Babandede said. http://punchng.com/fg-okays-10-year-validity-period-for-passports/ 7 Likes |

Currently, the passports have a five-year validity period. The 10 year validity period passport should be for new applicant then. People with 5-year validity passport will have to wait till it expires and apply for a new one.....the 10 years passport. Okay bye! 32 Likes 3 Shares |

That's not a bad idea but I hope another Government will not wake up one day and cancel it after one has paid through his nose to obtain it. A big problem in Nigeria is inconsistency and lack of continuity of governance. 1 Like |

It is a good development but it can be better if they can agree with US and UK to respect the passport and give us their visas and also find a way of increasing the no of countries we can get visa on arrival not just all this Africa countries. 3 Likes |
