Applicants, according to the new arrangement, would be charged for each Nigerian passport.
“The applicable NIN verification fee is N1000 for Nigeria, for African countries it is $5.00 (or its equivalent in other currencies) while other countries will pay $15.00 (or its equivalent in other countries),” the statement said.
