Nigeria’s passport has climbed to its highest global position in 11 years, now ranked 88th out of 199 countries, according to the Henley Passport Index 2025.
This marks a notable ascent from its position at 91st earlier this year and 95th in 2024, reversing a downward trajectory that saw it fall as low as 103rd in 2021.
Nigeria now shares the 88th spot with Ethiopia and Myanmar, reflecting incremental improvements in global travel access.
