He added that the move was part of the efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian standard passport
According to the statement, a 32-page passport booklet with a five-year validity, which was hitherto charged at N35,000, will now 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.

This government has got no clue with everything happening you still choose to increase the cost of passport to what end.
ReplyDeleteNa wa
ReplyDeleteIs cost of fuel and price of transportation affecting processing of passport too 🤔 😳 😕
ReplyDeleteWhen are they going to start charging for the air we breathe please ?
ReplyDeleteHowever, the fees remain unchanged for those in diaspora 🙄🙄🙄. Did anyone else catch that phrase on first line of last paragraph? Na wao
ReplyDeleteIt’s already too expensive in comparison so they better not increase it
DeleteI've promised Myself to stop lamenting bout anything concerning Naija. But then ,
ReplyDeleteOne day na One day...
@caren, I dont understand why you are rolling your eyes. Those in the diaspora pay $150 for the 32 page booklet and about $230 for the 62 page. Do the conversion to naira.
ReplyDeleteOk now...😞
ReplyDeleteExactly what you get when you don't hold them accountable for their actions.
ReplyDeleteHeartless leaders!
With everything going on, you are increasing passport to what end?
ReplyDeleteOur leaders seem to be highly insensitive to the current economic woes the nationals are facing. The Nigerian Government has been operating on high ground for complacency. Huh the masses adaptability is stretched beyond its elastic limit; i fear for the reaction that will come soon if caution and common sense is not applied.
ReplyDeleteJust one year, i wonder what 2nd into 3rd year will be if it is critical. Nigeria Government Do not wake up the Monsters/Beast in human and cry foul. Please be empathic and sensitive to the current tides and be intentional and strategic in moving forward to a Good land not flying to Hell. What is all this?
Hmmmmm Ike Gwuru
