Nigerians to pay more for international passport.

Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) on Wednesday said the new fee regime which will take effect on September 1, will not affect those applying for the travel document outside the country.

It said the change in fee was done “to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport”.

A statement by NIS spokesman, Kenneth Udo, a Deputy Comptroller of Immigration (DCI), said: “Based on the review, 32-page Passport booklet with five-year validity previously charged at thirty-five thousand naira (N35,000.00) will now be fifty thousand naira (N50,000.00) only; while the 64-page passport booklet with 10-year validity which was seventy thousand naira (N70,000.00) will be one hundred thousand naira (N100,000.00) only. However, the fees remain unchanged in the diaspora.”

“While the Nigeria Immigration Service regrets any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants; it assured Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times”.

FBNHoldings Wows the Market with 2023 H1 Earnings Blowout

FBNHoldings (FBNH), the parent company of Nigeria’s pioneer Bank, First Bank of Nigeria Limited published stellar results, confounding analysts, and exciting investors. Equally as amazing as the spectacular results, which saw earnings per share surge by 234% to N5.19 was the fact that the banking behemoth was able to eke out this profit in a financially hostile policy environment where bank earnings have been squeezed. The Bank’s holding company has also been a subject of shareholder squabbles, which ordinarily should be a distraction to the management and a drag on profitability. But in spite of these challenges, the outstanding results are a testimony to the depth of its management and its capacity to execute a robust strategy.
