The United Kingdom<\/a> has said visa policy banning international students from bringing dependants with them to the country is not targeted at Nigerians. <\/p>\n

The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, made this known on Tuesday while addressing State House Correspondents after a closed-door meeting with Vice President Kashim Shettima at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.<\/p>\n

Montgomery said his country\u2019s decision banning international students from bringing family members with them starting in 2024 is to tame the influx of migrants and avoid overburdening the country\u2019s housing infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany more students are trying to bring their dependents with them\u2026 but it\u2019s not always possible to find the housing and services to meet all the needs of all our existing student population\u2026we\u2019ll have to manage our migration in and out of the UK,\u201d Montgomery told <\/p>\n

On May 23, the UK Home Office said international students, including Nigerians, would no longer be able to bring family members with them starting January 2024.<\/p>\n

The decision was trailed by mixed reactions from international students, schools, and some British lawmakers who averred that the regulation would worsen labour shortages in critical sectors such as healthcare and threaten the country\u2019s global standing as a top destination for international talent.<\/p>\n

But in response to a question from our correspondent, the British High Commissioner gave reasons for the regulation saying, \u201cI think there are two issues here. The first is, it\u2019s not always possible to find the housing and services to meet all the needs of all our existing student population.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd second, reasonable people would accept that we have to manage our visitor numbers and we\u2019ll have to manage our migration in and out of the UK just as the Nigerian government would do,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Montgomery revealed that Nigerian students coming to the UK had increased fivefold in the last three years, even as they make up 10 per cent of those granted UK visas annually.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat issue was not raised in the meeting (with the Vice President) just now. But I would like to put the media debate about it in a broader context. Last year (2022), for example, the UK granted three million new visas, of which 325,000 were to Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerian visitors constitute over 10 per cent of the people coming to London and the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fantastic success story for our universities. And we are really delighted that so many Nigerians are coming to the UK,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The British High Commissioner revealed that his discussions with the VP highlighted the current policy direction of the Bola Tinubu administration, which, he said, is being warmly received by UK investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
