Nigerian passports can get you to these 26 countries visa-free

By Samson Toromade

The Nigerian passport is less powerful than the passports of fellow African countries with smaller profiles.

The Nigerian passport is statistically one of the least powerful in the world, according to the Henley Passport Index.

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.

This is a list of all of them:
Cook Islands
Fiji
Micronesia
Niue
Vanuatu
Barbados
Dominica
Haiti
Montserrat
St. Kitts and Nevis
Benin Republic
Burkina Faso
Cameroon
Cape Verde Islands
Chad
Cote d’Ivoire
Ghana
Guinea
Guinea-Bissau
Liberia
Mali
Niger Republic
Senegal
Sierra Leone
The Gambia
Togo

The Henley Passport Index is based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
