Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerians to protect
the image of the country by shunning uncomplimentary statements and
actions.Inaugurating the 64-page e-passport on Wednesday in Abuja,
Jonathan said that the pages of the travelling document had to be
increased from 32 to 64 pages to cater for frequent travellers who
change their passport almost every other month because of limited pages
for visa.
He urged officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service to protect the
integrity of the passport by ensuring that it cannot be easily faked.
Jonathan also advised officials who man the nation’s airports to
ensure that they conduct themselves in a manner that will portray the
country well before visitors to the country.
The new passport, which takes effect from August 1, attracts a fee of about $1330.
