What income, savings or financial-resources threshold applies and how does family affect it where officially specified?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the income or savings threshold and the family uplift.

Can the holder work locally, run a business or perform other economic activity? What is the family position?

The holder is not permitted to take employment and is permitted to reside in Nigeria only. Family/dependants apply for N6A, N6B, N6C and N6D for spouse, minors, adult children and aged parents respectively.
