President Buhari Unveils New Nigerian International Passport


On Tuesday 15th January, 2019, President Buhari launched a new enhanced security Nigerian passport with 10 years validity. He performed the ceremony at a meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Buhari was immediately issued his own 10–year validity passport, by the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mohammad Babandede. 

Speaking to State House correspondents later, Babandede explained that the new passport has enhanced features, which will make it easier for security management. He said the new passport with 32 pages will cost N25,000 and $130 abroad; the 64 pages with five years expiration time will cost N35,000 and $150 abroad while the 64 pages with 10 years validity will cost N70,000 in Nigeria and $230 abroad.
