Nigerians in South Africa seek quick implementation of 10-year passport validity

The Nigerian Union South Africa has called for speedy implementation of the 10-year validity period for Nigerian passport which was approved by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The union commended the President for the initiative and called for safeguards against exploitation of Nigerians most especially those in the Diaspora.

Speaking during a courtesy call by NUSA members on the Special Senior Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, in Abuja on Friday, the union President, Adetola Olubajo, stated that his association had in the past written to the Federal Government to extend the validity period of the passport to 10 years.

He said, “We, however, call for speedy implementation and also for measures to be put in place to avoid ripping off Nigerians most especially those of us in Diaspora.”

Apart from writing letters to the immigration service and the FG, Olubajo explained that the union also made representation for the extension of the validity period of passport to President Buhari during his state visit to South Africa in 2015.

Meanwhile, a National think-tank on foreign policy, Association of Foreign Relations Professionals of Nigeria has said that it was working with the government to address xenophobic killings in South Africa.

AFRPN President, Amb. Gani Lawal explained that Nigeria cannot break diplomatic relations with South Africa over the killings of Nigerian nationals, adding that the association had provided research materials that could assist in curbing the attacks.

He stated that the formation of AFRPN was to fill a vacuum in foreign relations and diplomacy in the country by availing the government with the experience and expertise of the members.

Lawal disclosed that the association would be inaugurated in Abuja on July 31,2018 with a lecture by a former Minister of External Affairs, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, noting that the event would be chaired by the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi.
