Ways of Losing Citizenship - JSS1 Civic education Lesson Note

Citizenship can be lost through various means, including renunciation, denaturalization, or involuntary loss due to actions contrary to the country's laws. Renunciation occurs when an individual voluntarily gives up their citizenship to acquire citizenship in another country. Denaturalization is a legal process that revokes citizenship granted through naturalization, typically due to fraud or misrepresentation during the application process. Involuntary loss may result from engaging in activities that pose a threat to national security or participating in armed conflicts against the country of citizenship.
