A new ranking by Henley and Partners has placed Nigeria at 92nd on the list of countries with the most powerful passports.
The report, released on Tuesday, draws from exclusive data provided by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Nigeria’s position has shifted notably over the past year. In July 2023, the country was ranked 90th but has since fallen to 97th place, behind several African nations, including Burundi, Cameroon, and Liberia.
The latest ranking sees Nigeria tied with Lebanon and Myanmar, with visa-free access to 45 destinations.
However, in the context of African countries, Nigeria ranks sixth lowest, surpassing only South Sudan, Sudan, Eritrea, Libya, and Somalia.
