Maureen Ihua-MaduenyiThe Nigeria Immigration Service has said it will roll out the new passport in Lagos on Tuesday. The Comptroller General of the NIS, Muhammad Babandede, stated this on Saturday while addressing officers and men of the Lagos Command and formations. He said the new passport would be linked and synchronised with individuals’ National Identification Number. “Nigeria is headed for one identity for every individual; so, everyone’s identity has to be the same, from the bank to the NIN. It will be significant for our national security and development,” he said.
