Proof of funds can be a bank account statement that shows you have enough money in your account to cover for the trip. This is usually a 3-months bank statement. It can also be a Sponsorship Letter by another person that confirms they will be financially supporting your trip to Nigeria. In order for this letter to be valid, it must be accompanied by a bank statement of the sponsor, not older than three months.
