 LIST: Nigerian passport ranked among worst globally


The Nigerian passport has been ranked among the worst on the globe highlighting significant challenges for Nigerian travelers seeking international mobility.


The latest assessment by VisaGuide’s World Passport Index ranked the Nigerian passport at 191 out of 199 countries above countries like North Korea (192), Iraq (193), Libya (194), Sudan (195), Pakistan (196), Afghanistan (197), Syria (198) and Somalia (199).


The ranking will raise concerns about the West African cpuntry’s recent efforts to improve mobility, including e-visa initiatives.


Meanwhile, the Singaporean passport came first on the chart as the strongest in the world, followed by the Italian, Spaniard, French, and German passports.


The report added that the factors that contributed to this decline include visa-free access, diplomatic relations, and security concerns.


Other factors are visa-free travel, electronic travel authorisation, visa on arrival, electronic visa (e-visa), embassy or other government-approved visas, passport-free travel, and banned entry.


Additionally, the Henley Passport Index, which considers the number of countries passport holders can enter without a visa, previously listed the Nigerian passport among the worst 10 performing travel documents worldwide.


This consistently low ranking highlights the pressing need for Nigeria to address the underlying issues affecting its passport’s global standing.
