Nigerian Passport Falls 32 Places in Global Ranking Over 20-Year Period

The Nigerian passport has dropped 32 places in a global ranking over the past 20 years, according to the Henley Passport Index. It now ranks lower than many other African countries.

Nigeria's passport has plummeted 32 places in a global ranking over the past two decades, according to the Henley Passport Index. This significant drop has left Nigeria tied with countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan, which also rank among the least powerful passports worldwide. The decline marks a stark reversal of fortune for Nigeria, whose passport was once ranked among the top 100 most powerful in the world. With this slide, the country now faces more restricted travel options for its citizens.
