The Federal Government of Nigeria has made adjustments with an upward review of the prices for obtaining the Nigerian passport.
This was disclosed in a statement by the spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, Kenneth Udo on Wednesday.
According to Udo the new price would take effective from September 1, 2024.
Udo noted that the move was part of the efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian standard passport.
He said: “Based on the review, the 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity previously charged at Thirty-five Thousand Naira (N35,000.00) will now be Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000.00) only, while the 64-page passport booklet with a 10-year validity, which was Seventy Thousand Naira (N70,000.00), will now be One Hundred Thousand Naira (N100,000.00) only.
“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.”
