The Henley Passport Index has listed the most powerful passports in the world on Thursday.
HPI is a global passport-ranking website with an original, authoritative ranking of all the world’s passports according to the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa.
Their index is often based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) – the largest, most accurate travel information database – and enhanced by Henley & Partners’ research team.
The passport ranking website listed Nigeria as 95th out of the 104 countries with the most powerful passports.
Nigeria sits behind Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho, Morroco, Benin Republic and Namibia which are at number 76th, 83rd, 67th, 65th, 71st, 79th and 65th respectively.
The index also said Nigerians now have about 45 visa-free countries enabled with their passports.
