Gov. Kashim Shettima of Borno on
Thursday expressed optimism that the
Nigerian military will soon end the Boko
Haram insurgency in the country.
Shettima made the statement at the
launching of the new 64 page e-passport
in Maiduguri.
He said that the recent victory by the
military in different encounters with the
insurgents had brought back hope of
ending the crisis soon.
The military has brought back hope to the
minds of the people with its renewed
efforts in fighting the insurgents.
“With the recent victory, I belief that peace
will soon be the restored and normalcy will
return,’’ he said.
He commended the Federal Government
for introducing the new passport, saying its
introduction had placed the country among
the best countries of the world.
I think the Nigeria Immigration Service
(NIS) deserve kudos for introducing the
passport.
“This has made us proud as Nigerians,
because the passport conformed to the
best practices in the world,” Shettima said.
The governor also commiserated with the
NIS for losing some of its men to
insurgency in the state.
The numerous sacrifices of your men in
restoring peace in the state will not go
unnoticed.
“For those who lost their lives accept our
condolence,” he said.
Speaking earlier, the Borno NIS
Comptroller, Alhaji Madu Musa said that
the launching of new passport was part of
government’s effort to prevent fraud in the
issuance of passport.
He said the new passport was launched by
President Goodluck Jonathan on July 30 in
Abuja.
The new passport is gender friendly; it
takes care of low income earners and the
aged.
“It also accommodates frequent travelers
and forestalls identity theft,’’ he said.
The 64-page e-passport cost N20, 000, the
32-page cost N15,000 while the 32-page
for 60 and above and below 18 years cost
N8,750.
