The house has, subsequently, commanded its Committee on Interior to liaise with the Ministry of Interior and Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) for activity on the issue.
The call came taking after a movement by Rep. Samson Olugbemi (Oyo-APC), which was collectively embraced by individuals.
Olugbemi clarified that before the presentation of the e-international ID by NIS, the Nigerian visa had a five-year legitimacy period. He said that the procedure of reestablishment of the old international ID was basic and proficient as it required insignificant stamping by an approved Immigration authority to show another lapsing date.
"The House is worried that the Nigerian Immigration Service, for reason just known not, chose to confine the legitimacy of the new Nigerian visa to five years with no choice of recharging.
"In this manner, rather than restoration of the visa on termination, another one is to be issued.
"The House ponders about the advantages of this change of approach, other than the childish goals of the NIS to build its inside created income profile.
"The house knows that a huge number of Nigerians who are dwelling in nations where Nigeria's travel permit can't be secured because of nonattendance of Nigerian Consular office or international safe haven, are stranded abroad.
"This is a direct result of the close of their travel papers," Olugbemi regretted.
