Passport Fee: ₦100k Law, ₦150k Demand

The Federal Government of Nigeria recently announced that the new cost of an international passport would be ₦100,000.
Yet, when ordinary Nigerians approach the immigration service, they are told to bring ₦150,000 or risk endless delays. This is not just a case of inefficiency, it is daylight extortion.

Why should Nigerians pay more than the official fee? Why is there always an extra “hidden cost” in our institutions?

The sad truth is that this quiet robbery has become normal. No one is talking, no one is protesting, and those meant to serve the people are the very ones exploiting them.

This is more than about passports, it is a reflection of the moral decline in our public service. When corruption is legalized at the desk, what hope is left for the ordinary citizen?

👉 What do you think, fellow Nigerians!!!
Will we continue to suffer in silence, or is it time to speak out?

Nigerians have tried. Report anyone that increases it. Video them , or record the audio so they will respect themselves

The people who pay for these extra amounts that are unlawful often even brag on hie they paid extra and got what they wanted quickly (Express).


They'll shame you for following due process.

This makes these immigration agents to feel like they are doing the right thing. They are often surprised (and also angry) when they discover you did you application DIY.
