Brown Card: FG introduces new legal instrument for permanent residency just like the ‘Green card’
The FG has introduced the ‘Brown Card’ as a new legal instrument for permanent residency for eligible foreign nationals as it conferred Nigerian Citizenship on 385 deserving adult foreign nationals from different countries.
In his remarks at the conferment ceremony which was held at the Nigeria Correctional Service Headquarters, the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, announced the arrival of Nigeria’s Brown Card after the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari & the Federal Executive Council.
“I am happy to announce the Brown Card, as the legal instrument to Permanent Residency. The Minister of Interior is now invested with the authority to confer Permanent Residency on non-Nigerian persons, enabling such beneficiaries to live & work in Nigeria without the requirement of renewal every 5 years as was the case.
The legal instrument that would confer this newly created status is to be called the Brown Card.
