The ranking of the passports of 199 countries and 227 destinations, in the first quarter of 2023, showed that Nigerians have visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to only 46 other countries.
This is a poor return in comparison to other African countries, and only better than the status of 19 other countries globally.
Of the 46 countries where holders of Nigerian passports have easy access, just over half are totally visa-free.
