It is not everyday that Nigeria pioneers something, so we thought it nice to publicise this fact. This of course is in line with IATA's initiative to Simplify the Business and bring about annual savings of over 3 billion USD to the industry.
"The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) would deploy e-passport processing facilities to Nigerian consulates in New York, London, New Delhi and Johannesburg before Christmas, this is according to the comptroller-general Mr Chukwurah Udeh, the NIS chief, said that the plan was aimed at addressing the plight of Nigerians in obtaining the document. Besides, he said the NIS would deploy the facilities to 16 new processing centres across the country. He described Nigeria as the first country in Africa to issue e-passports in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) recommendations."
