REPS REJECT 5 YEARS VALIDITY OF E-PASSPORT

The House of Representatives on Tuesday rejected the five years validity of the e-Passport as they sought the reversal to 10 years as was the case before.

The new e-Passport which has no option of a renewal after expiration, is valid for only five years and compels holders to process a new one.
The House noted that in the pre-e-Passport era, the travelling document had a validity of five years in the first instance and could be renewed for another five years.
The Honorable Members called on the NIS to initiate measures aimed at reverting to the 10-year lifespan policy for the Nigerian Passport.
