The Federal Government has increased fees payable for obtaining the Nigerian passport effective September 1.
Spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) Kenneth Udo announced this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
“Based on the review, 32-page passport booklet with five year validity previously charged at N35,000 would now be N50,000 only.
“The 64-page Passport booklet with 10 year validity which was N70,000 would be N100,000 only,” Udo said.
However, the statement said the fees remain unchanged in diaspora.
“The Service regrets any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants.
“The service assures Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times,” he added.
