The Federal government of Nigeria has said that the old Nigerian passport will terminate in December 31, 2010 paving the way for the new e-passport. The minister of state for ministry of internal affairs Humphrey Abba urged Nigerians in diaspora who are still carrying the old passport to acquire the e-passport in order to avoid disappointment when travelling.
The minister said the Federal Government will deploy enough mobile machines to the United
Kingdom and Washington to fast track the issuance of the e-passport to Nigerians living
abroad.
‘December 31, 2010 is the dead line for those who already have the machine readable
passport to go and register on line through the Immigration Service for the issuance of the e-
passport. If by 31 December you do not have the passport, you will have yourself to blame
and that is why we are doing the best we can do through the Nigeria Immigration Service.’’
