The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, says Nigerians in the United Kingdom will not pay any additional fees for international passport applications under the ongoing special passport intervention exercise.

The minister made the clarification in a statement issued by his Special Adviser, Alao Babatunde.

The intervention was introduced to provide more options for Nigerians in the UK to process their passport applications and address concerns over difficulties experienced by applicants.

Tunji-Ojo said the exercise does not attract any charges beyond the official passport fees of 150 dollars for a five-year validity passport and 230 dollars for a ten-year validity passport, excluding bank charges.

He stressed that neither the Ministry of Interior nor the Nigeria Immigration Service has introduced any additional charges.
