JUST IN: FG ANNOUNCES UPWARD REVIEW OF PROCUREMENT FEES FOR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT
The Federal Government has approved an upward review of the fees for the Nigerian Passport effective from 1st September 2024.
The spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), DCI Kenneth Udo, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, adding that the move was a part of the efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.
He says the new charges take effect from 1st September 2024.
Based on the review, the 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity previously charged at Thirty-five Thousand Naira (N35,000.00) will now be Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000.00) only, while the 64-page passport booklet with a 10-year validity, which was Seventy Thousand Naira (N70,000.00), will now be One Hundred Thousand Naira (N100,000.00) only.
