Nigeria Boosts Passport Authentication, Completes ICAO PKD Integration
All of Nigeria's Country Signing Certificate Authorities (CSCAs) have been successfully imported into the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Public Key Directory (PKD) by the Federal Government of Nigeria, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, through the Ministry of Interior. According to the Nigeria Immigration Service, this move will eliminate passport verification difficulties for Nigerians traveling across international borders. On Monday, July 13, 2026, the ICAO Headquarters in Montreal, Canada, hosted the completion ceremony. Kemi Nanna Nandap, the Comptroller-General of Immigration, oversaw it.
