On Wednesday, January 16, 2019, the 10 years validity international passport for Nigerians was approved and launched. The issuance of this passport will commence on March 4, 2019, at the Federal capital territory at the rate of N70,000.

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform
you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and
I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I
find this topic to be actually something which I think I
would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for
me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I
will try to get the hang of it!
