Nigeria Immigration Service plans to increase adult passport validity
The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced plans to increase the validity of passports issued to adults from 5 to 10 years.
Comptroller-General of NIS, Mr Mohammed Babandede, disclosed this on Thursday at the Passport Office in Ikoyi area of Lagos State.
Babandede disclosed that the plan was part of reforms by the Service towards improving the process of issuing passports to Nigerians.
“The issuance of the new passport will commence before the end of the year,” he said.
“It would reduce the burden on Nigerians to acquire passports every five years,” he added.
