Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation NIDO, Singapore Chapter, urged the Federal Government to institute an electronic passport application process, to tackle the issue of fake web registration.
The President of NIDO-Singapore chapter, Birinengi Harry, gave the advice in an interview with Newsmen in Abuja.
He was speaking on the heels of the red flag been raised by the Nigerian Consulate in New York warning against a fake website claiming to register and renew passports.
He identified e-governance, including accessibility, simplification of processes and transparency to be the potential benefits of electronic passport applications that could far outweigh the application risks.
He, however, urged government and Nigeria diplomatic missions to transit faster into the digital space, so as to achieve targets.
