According to the spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service – NIS, DCI Kenneth Udo, the new price would be effective from September 1, 2024.
Udo, who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, said that the move was part of the efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian standard passport.
Henceforth, a 32-page passport booklet with a five-year validity, which was hitherto charged at N35,000, will be N50,000.
Similarly, a 64-page passport booklet with 10-year validity previously charged at N70,000 will be N100,000 from September 1.
“However, the fees remain unchanged in Diaspora,” he said.
Expressing regrets about any inconvenience the development may cause prospective applicants, the NIS assured citizens of an unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times.
