Summary & Analysis

This bill is proposed to amend the passport miscellaneous provisions act to preserve the image of Nigeria globally by denying or withdrawing passports from Nigerians who commit crimes in foreign lands for at least 10 years.

The bill aims to address the issue of Nigerians being profiled and denied visas in foreign countries due to crimes committed by other Nigerians, and to tighten the process of acquiring Nigerian passports.

Help keep Legis360 free and independent

Legis360 makes Nigeria's legislature legible: every bill, motion and vote, in plain language, with no paywall.

Your support helps us:

Hold power to account. We put on record what the 10th Assembly is doing, so citizens know the public is watching.
Keep it free and open. No paywalls, because everyone deserves clear, unbiased information about decisions made on their behalf.
Keep building. Proceedings, scorecards, alerts and the Ilimi assistant all cost money to run and to improve.

We don't want to wait for a more transparent democracy to be handed to us. We want to build it now, with you.
