 Peter Obi kicks against Int’l passport fee hike


The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has lamented the hike in International Passport fee.


In a post on his official X handle on Thursday, Obi said the obsession of this administration with putting a burden on the populace is becoming legendary.


DAILY POST reports that the Federal Government on Thursday announced the increase in International Passport fees.


With the new increase, a 32-page booklet goes for N100,000, while 64 pages goes for N200,000.

“It is alarming that the price of the international passport is higher than what workers earn in a month,” he wrote.
