President Goodluck Jonathan has  launched Nigeria’s new 64-page e-passport.

The travelling document was launched on Wednesday, 30 July, by President Goodluck Jonathan, shortly before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The President said the pages of the traveling document had to be increased from 32 to 64 to cater for frequent travelers who change their passport almost every other month because of limited pages for visa.

He tasked officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service to protect the integrity of the passport by ensuring that it cannot be easily faked.

Jonathan also called on Nigerians to protect the image of the country by shunning uncomplimentary statements and actions.
