Nigerians seeking international travel face hurdles as the country’s passport has been ranked among the world’s weakest. VisaGuide’s World Passport Index placed Nigeria at 191st out of 199 nations, only surpassing North Korea, Iraq, and several other countries with restricted travel freedoms.
This ranking raises questions about the effectiveness of Nigeria’s recent efforts to improve travel ease, such as the introduction of electronic visa programs.
In contrast, Singapore boasts the world’s strongest passport, according to the index. Rounding out the top five are Italy, Spain, France, and Germany, offering their citizens visa-free access to numerous destinations.
This consistently low ranking highlights the pressing need for Nigeria to address the underlying issues affecting its passport’s global standing.
