It further added that the development will become effective from September 1, 2024.
Akinlabi said, “The review, which only affects passport application fees made in Nigeria, now sets new fee thresholds for a 32-page passport with 5-year validity at N100,000 and a 64-page passport with 10-year validity at N200,000.
“Meanwhile, Nigerian passport application fees made by Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged at $150 for a 32-page passport with 5-year validity and $230 for a 64-page passport with 10-year validity.”
FG also reiterated its commitment to balancing quality service delivery with the need to ensure passport services are accessible to all Nigerians.
