PUBLIC NOTICE / DISCLAIMER

         The attention of the Nigeria High Commission, London, has been drawn to certain publications and commentaries currently in circulation regarding the administrative fees applicable to the ongoing Passport Intervention Exercise.

While the Mission appreciates the interest, goodwill and engagement of members of the Nigerian diaspora, it has become necessary to clarify that some of the information contained in those publications are inaccurate and do not represent the official position of the High Commission.

For the avoidance of doubt, any claim suggesting that an administrative fee of £70.00 received presidential approval is incorrect. The approved standard administrative charge remains £20.00.

The High Commission therefore wishes to clearly and respectfully dissociate itself from any inaccurate or misleading information not issued through its authorised channels and to state unequivocally that such publications did not emanate from the Mission.

Accordingly, members of the public are advised to disregard any information that is not communicated through the authorised channels of the Nigeria High Commission, London.

The High Commission remains committed to the continued delivery of efficient services to members of the public.

Signed
