Nigerian government launches new 64-paged e-passport.

Nigerian President on Wednesday launched a new 64-paged e-passport. The new passport, which takes effect from Aug. 1, attracts a fee of N20,000.
President Jonathan said that the passport pages had to be increased from 32 to 64 to cater for frequent travelers who change their passport almost every month because of limited pages for visa. He also asked officials who man the nation’s airports to ensure that they conduct themselves in a manner that will portray the country well before visitors.
