Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The sponsor is a Nigerian by birth who has renounced Nigerian citizenship; this route is for that person's spouse. The spouse's renunciation certificate, attested birth certificate and, where applicable, supporting evidence of previous Nigerian citizenship are required.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance requirements.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

Applicants apply online (embassy), submit the visa requirements and pay the visa fees, then obtain the visa. The visa is valid for 90 days from issuance and extension is not applicable. The stay duration is indefinite (subject to passport validity), with multiple entry; no employment is permitted and the holder is to reside in Nigeria. The official source does not state a path to independent or longer-term status.
