l naturalised as British citizen in 1990.
My daughter was born in 2015 abroad (Nigeria) and she currently lives in Nigeria but I want to bring her to live with me in the UK.
Do l apply for British passport for her rightaway or do l have to register her using for MN1?
Thank you

As said, child applies directly for a British passport.
https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports
When you complete the application the system will tell you which documents are required. Certainly your naturalization certificate and child’s birth certificate as a minimum.

Very much appreciated
Finally, can l request that the passport is delivered to my address in the uk or will it be sent to the address abroad (Nigeria)?
Thank you

I recommend you contact the UK Passport Helpline:
https://www.gov.uk/passport-advice-line
for appropriate/latest advice. The applicant (the child) resides abroad and will need the passport to travel to the UK.
We don't have sight of the latest online options.
