I don't know where you stay but immigration office Abuja is the best and faster bet...
Write an application letter to that effect. If it's due to marriage, you need authorisation letter from your partner.....can't remember the cost.....If u know someone that works there who can help out so U don't have delays u can take it same day....

That's a very long thing. U Need to approach immigration office headquarters here in Abuja and state why u need a change of name. It's easier when it's connected to marriage but very difficult for other reasons. U shld also budget btw 50-80k. Waiting period like 2-3months too. Good luck

Do u have any documents like primary cert, secondary cert and other certificates that has the new name u want to bear? I also had the same issue but after weighing the pros and cons I had to back out. Pls be careful of fraudsters who will claim they can do it for u. Issues with passports as such is best, authentic and faster at the headquarters in Abuja.
