Meaning of citizenship

Citizenship is the legal membership of a country. A citizen enjoys the rights and protection of the state and performs duties to the state. People become Nigerian citizens by birth, registration or naturalisation.

Loss of citizenship

Renunciation: a citizen formally gives up their Nigerian citizenship.
Deprivation: the government withdraws citizenship from a person who got it by registration or naturalisation and acts against the country, for example through disloyalty.

Dual citizenship

Dual citizenship means being a citizen of two countries at the same time. A Nigerian citizen by birth can also hold citizenship of another country.

Citizens and national development

Obeying the law and paying taxes.
Voting during elections.
Taking part in community projects such as road repairs and sanitation.
Protecting public property.
