Nigerians To Enjoy Secure and Smooth International Travel Experience

1 Mins read

The Ministry of Interior in its official X handle formerly Twitter said Nigerians will now enjoy a smoother and more secure travel experience as the Nigerian passport has been integrated into the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Public Key Directory (PKD) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

According to the tweet, the ICAO PKD and PKI systems ensure that the data embedded in electronic passports, such as biometric information, can be verified against trusted sources.

This means that Nigerian passports can now be authenticated more efficiently at international borders, reducing delays and enhancing security. 

However it noted that unreadable passports pose a security risk as they hinder the ability to verify traveller identities accurately, which can be exploited for illegal activities such as unauthorised entry or identity fraud.
