FG Clarifies No Extra Charges for Special Passport Intervention in UK

The Federal Government has clarified that Nigerians in the United Kingdom will not be required to pay any additional charges for the special passport intervention currently being provided to address passport-related challenges. The clarification is aimed at dispelling concerns over possible extra fees associated with the intervention and reassuring Nigerians who may need to access the service. The special intervention is part of efforts by the Nigerian authorities to improve passport services for citizens in the UK and address challenges affecting applicants and passport holders. The government has stressed the need for eligible Nigerians to access the intervention through the designated official channels and follow the prescribed procedures. The clarification also seeks to protect Nigerians from individuals who may attempt to exploit the intervention by demanding unauthorised payments or additional charges. The Federal Government continues to encourage Nigerians in the diaspora to rely on official information from relevant government agencies for details concerning passport applications, renewals and other consular services.
