The Federal Government has announced an increase in the fees for obtaining Nigerian passports, set to take effect on September 1, 2024.
According to a statement released on Wednesday by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) spokesperson, Kenneth Udo, the decision was made to uphold the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.
Under the new fee structure, a 32-page passport booklet with a five-year validity will now cost N50,000, up from the previous N35,000.
Similarly, the 64-page passport booklet with a ten-year validity will see its price rise from N70,000 to N100,000.
The NIS acknowledged that the fee hike might cause some inconvenience for applicants but assured the public of its continued commitment to transparency and quality service delivery.
