How will increasing the price of a new passport enhance efficiency?

Just look at what this administration is tunning Nigerias into,for Nigerians to always suffer to get anything. Still they would tell you to be patriotic.

You have made history. Power not forever.

To me the money is even very low when you judge by the usefulness and importance of the Passport as well as compare the price of travel tickets, both plane and ship. Our passport is still relatively very cheap.

People have been paying a lot more than this through bribery to get Nigerian passports in recent past.
What is the usefulness and importance of the passport compared to the price of ticket?

People who have bribing to get passport, who have they been paying the money to?

Will this increase stop this bribery?

Is the Nigerian passport a necessity that its efficiency should be stalled because of minimum wage? Does same excuse apply to products and services that have increased over time despite the stagnancy of the minim wage.

Hello! The agency is on the right part and such increment is HIGHLY welcomed.
How is the efficiency of the Nigerian passport linked to its price?

Calculate your minimum wage against your international passport and you'll see that your rulers are wicked people.
what has minimum wage to do with price of the passport?

Of course they are not dullards. They did a rational calculation before coming up with this amount.

You see, the whole mentality is very typical of an average Nigerian citizen who is able to buy a car for millions but won't be able to tender vehicle particulars because he finds it 'expensive' to afford.

Just reread what you just typed amd ask urself if it made any sense.

First off, if most Nigerians had the resources, they'd opt for a second passport to ease their travel experience. The people who have the resources are already doing it.

Secondly, when the official price was around 30k, people would spend up to 70k to get it. Because if you choose to go through the official channel, you'll end up regretting.

Imagine what the amount would be now that the official price is 100k.

I don't think some of u reside in this country, else you won't be saying some of the things you say.

Stop being a lunatic, our passport is very expensive compared to othercountries.
Minimumwage in Nigeria is 70k while our passport cost 200k.
In Europe Minimumwage is 2000 Euro and passport cost 67 euro. Meaning your salary is good enough to get you a passport.
