President Bola Tinubu government has approved an upward review of the fees for the Nigerian Passport, effective September 1, 2024.
This announcement was made by KT Udo, spokesperson of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), in a statement released on Wednesday and seen by 9News Nigeria.
According to the statement, the 32-page Passport booklet with a 5-year validity, previously priced at N35,000, will now cost N50,000. Similarly, the 64-page Passport booklet with a 10-year validity, previously priced at N70,000, will now cost N100,000.
However, the fees remain unchanged for Nigerians in the 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 statement added.
