Minister of interior Rauf Aregbesola who spoke at the launch at headquarters of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) in Abuja, said the NTP is a new genre of passport that will be issued at Nigerian embassies and high commissions to Nigerians who want to return home but whose national passport is not available.
The NTP which is a travel document designed for a one-way travel to Nigeria only, replaces the Emergency Travel Certificate (ETC) which is given to Nigerians to return home in emergency situations in the case of loss or misplacement of their passport.
The temporary passport is ICAO compliant and it is valid for only 30 days before the date of travel.
