requisite for acquiring the new enhanced passport.

 The Governor commended the effort of the Federal Government in supporting the NIS to deliver its mandate which resulted in several turnkey projects and innovations he saw at its headquarters.

Gombe state houses one of the oldest immigration formations and the command is now witnessing some reforms and increased activities, including processing Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Aliens Card (CERPAC), a feat, the Governor described as a commendable milestone.
