WAYS OF ACQUIRING CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION

  1. a)Citizenship by Birth: Any person, either of whose parents or

grandparents was or were born in Nigeria to parents who belong to a

community indigenous to Nigeria, is/are entitled to automatic Nigerian

Citizenship.

 

(b) Citizenship by Registration: Persons who are not citizens of Nigeria

by birth, but any of whose grandparents is a citizen of Nigeria, or who is or

has been married to a Nigerian citizen, may apply to the President of

Nigeria for registration as a citizen of Nigeria where there is evidence that

such an applicant is a person of good character, and he or her has

demonstrated a clear intention to be domiciled in Nigeria. It is a further

fundamental requirement that the applicant must take an oath of allegiance

to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

 

(c) Citizenship by Naturalization: Any person who is of full age, capacity,

and good character, and who has lived in Nigeria for a continuous period of

fifteen (15) years or has in the last twenty (20) years lived in Nigeria for a

cumulative period of fifteen (15) years, and who, in the opinion of the

Executive Governor of the State where he or she is living, demonstrated

that he has assimilated to the Nigerian way of life, is eligible to apply to the

President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the grant of a Certificate of

Naturalisation. A Certificate of Naturalisation will however only be granted

on the fulfillment of the above conditions precedent, and the taking of the

oath of allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

 

(d) Dual Citizenship: Any person, who is not a citizen of Nigeria by birth,

shall forfeit his or her Nigerian Citizenship, if he or she acquires or retains

citizenship of another nationality other than that of Nigeria, of which he is

not a citizen by birth. Any grant of Nigerian citizenship by registration or

naturalisation shall, subject to such an applicant not being a citizen by birth

of another country, be conditional upon the effective renunciation of the

citizenship or nationality of that other country within a period of not more

than twelve (12) months from the date of such registration or the grant of

Nigerian citizenship.

 

(e) Citizenship by Conferment/Honour: An honourary citizen is one on

whom the citizenship of another country is conferred as a mark of honour

or outstanding qualities. E.g. heads of state sometime acquire this type of

citizenship.

 

(f) Citizenship by Conquest: If a country is able to conquer another during

war, the citizen of the conquered country becomes the citizen of the

victorious state.
