A reference letter should be requested from a recognized and respected individual, such as a clergyman, imam, lawyer, or senior civil servant. The original letter should be professionally presented with the official letterhead, if applicable, which includes the logo of the institution or office of the referrer. It must also contain the name, signature, and stamp of the person providing the reference to ensure its validity.

The Local Government of Origin Certificate is an official document that affirms your indigeneity, that is, where your tribe or culture is located specifically.
