Some users On X and across other social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, have expressed disappointment at the recently increased fees for Nigerian Standard Passport.
The Federal Government, through the Nigeria Immigration Service – the national agency mandated to issue passports to applicants, on Wednesday, announced that the upward review of the passport fees was necessary to maintain its quality and integrity.
The increased fee, effective from September 1, 2024, will cost N50,000 for a 32-page passport booklet with five-year validity which was previously charged at N35,000.
Also, a 64-page passport booklet with 10-year validity will cost N100,000; an increment of N30,000 from its previous N70,000 charge.
