Officers you are, hereby, warned; if I see you with cash, it is tantamount to being corrupt and deserves severe punishment.
“Mr. President has approved that Nigerian passport should be valid for 10 years. There is also plans for the passport to he produced in the country, to secure the production and authenticity of the passport. Other reforms are the immigration will work with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to keep a one-stop online database.”
