Interior Ministry Clarifies Renunciation Fee is ₦2m, Not ₦5m
A Nigerian doctor in the Netherlands sparked online debate claiming the fee to renounce Nigerian nationality jumped from ₦50,000 to ₦5 million around May 2025. He said this cost was required before obtaining Dutch citizenship, as the Netherlands does not allow dual nationality in most cases. Some Nigerians in his comment section said they paid the ₦5 million fee. But the Ministry of Interior’s spokesperson, Mr. Mary Ali, told a national blog that the official charge is actually ₦2 million per person. This clarification aims to correct misinformation and reassure citizens about the true cost of renouncing Nigerian nationality.
