The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has clarified that it does not require married women to provide their husband’s passport page or proof of his identity to renew their passports.
This follows public concerns stemming from historical gender-biased policies, such as requiring paternal consent for minors’ passports or spousal consent for women in certain situations.
These policies have faced significant criticism and legal challenges for perpetuating gender inequality.
The NIS has committed to adhering to the constitution, which prohibits discrimination based on gender, and assures that such requirements have been abolished or are undergoing review.
These updates align with broader efforts to ensure that women have equal rights under Nigerian law.
