Nigerian passports

By Tochukwu Bliss, Abuja

The federal government has announced an upward review of the cost of obtaining Nigeria’s international passport effective from September 1.

Accordingly, a 32-page passport booklet with five years’ validity now costs N50,000 against previous N35,000, while the 64-page booklet with 10-year validity goes for N100,000 up from N70,000.

The spokesperson, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), KT Udo, announced the new passport fees in a statement on Wednesday.

Mr. Udo said the increase is “part of its efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian standard passport.”

He added that “However, the fees remain unchanged in Diaspora.

“While the Nigeria Immigration Service regrets any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants; it assures Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times.”

The increase is part of its efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian standard passport.
