FG Urged to Adopt Digital Passport, Paperless Immigration System for International Travels
Kemi Olaitan in Ibadan
A Nigerian travel enthusiast and global nomad, Ogundana Mcdolly, on Wednesday, urged the Federal Government to fully embrace digital passport and immigration systems following Europe’s transition from physical passport stamping to electronic border processing.
He made the call in a statement made available to journalists in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, after his recent trip through the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, where he experienced Europe’s newly operational Entry/Exit System, which replaces traditional passport stamps with digital records.
Mcdolly popularly known as The9jaboy in the statement titled, “The End of the Ink Era: What We Lose When Passport Stamps Go Digital,” described how he arrived in Paris on May 23, 2026, expecting the usual Schengen entry stamp on his Nigerian passport, only to discover that his movement had been recorded electronically.
