The Federal Government has announced a hike in the cost of obtaining Nigeria’s international passport.
Spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), DCI Kenneth Udo, who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday night in Abuja, said the move is 
“part of efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport”.
According to him, the new charges take effect from 1st September 2024.
“Based on the review, below are the new prices
The 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity that previously cost ₦35,000 will now be ₦50,000
The 64-page passport booklet with a 10-year validity, which previously cost ₦70,000 will now be ₦100,000
NOTE:- However, the fees remain unchanged in 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,” he added.
