The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has postponed the rollout of the new 10-year enhanced e-passport to April 29, 2019.
This is contained in a statement by the spokesperson of the NIS, Sunday James, who explained that the decision was to enable the Service to finalize the integration of the National Identity Number (NIN) with the new passport.
“Consequent upon this, the price of the current passport still remains the same,” he explained in the statement. The NIS passport reforms involve the introduction of different categories of passport with various approved fees.
