Nigerian Government has approved an upward review of the fees for the country’s passport effective from September 1, 2024.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Wednesday by the spokesman for the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kenneth Udo, on the X handle of the NIS.
The increment aims to ensure the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport, Udo said.
โAs part of its efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport, the Federal Government has approved an upward review of the fees for the passport, effective from September 1, 2024.
โBased on the review, a 32-page passport booklet with five-year validity previously charged at N35,000 will now be N50,000 only; while a 64-page passport booklet with 10-year validity which was N70,000 will be N100,000,โ the statement read.
The NIS said though it regretted โany inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants,โ it assured Nigerians of โunwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times.โ
