Jare said this, while speaking on Thursday, at the unveiling of the e-passport front office in Daura, Katsina State
He said the issuance of e-passport to bonafide Nigerians was one of the key mandates of the NIS as entrenched in section 2 of the Immigration Act 2015.
“Over the years, passport issuance in Nigeria has gone through tremendous reforms, from the manual to machine readable passport to the e-passport and now, the enhanced e-passport.
“Daura, hence joins Alimosho in Lagos, Zaria in Kaduna and Ilesha in Osun State as the front offices to be situated outside state capitals.
“The Federal Government has approved the e-border project as part of its resolve to deploy technology at the borders.
“With the support of partners, the Immigration Identification Data analysis system, MIDAS is rapidly rolled out at our entry points,” he said.
