The NIS boss Babandede had announced last year that Nigeria will begin using the new passport by December 2018.

He said: “Ten years after the enrollment of the e-passport system, we need to improve the security features.”

“You can’t keep documents for 10 years without seeing decreased values in them, so we are improving the security features which would raise the standards of the passports,” he was quoted to have said on Channels TV.
