An upward review of the fees for the Nigerian passport has been announced by the Federal Government.
A statement released by the spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, DCI Kenneth Udo on Wednesday, said the new price would be effective from September 1, 2024.
The move, according to Udo, was part of the efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian standard passport.
By the adjustment, a 32-page passport booklet with a five-year validity, which was hitherto charged at N35,000, will now be N50,000, and a 64-page passport booklet with 10-year validity previously charged at N70,000 will be N100,000 from September 1.
The fees remain unchanged in Diaspora, however.
The NIS while regretting any inconvenience the development may cause prospective applicants, assured citizens of an unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times.
