Nigerian man grants an interview to BBC where he portrayed Nigerians as ‘scammers’ using the education route as a guise to migrate to UK.
The UK Home Office this afternoon has moved to stop overseas students bringing family to UK in a bid to curb migration.
The move comes as official statistics are expected to confirm that net migration rose to more than 700,000 in the year to December 2022.

International students will no longer be able to bring dependants with them unless they are on postgraduate courses that are currently designated as research programmes.
The package will also remove the ability for international students to switch out of the student route and into work routes before their studies have been completed “to prevent misuse of the visa system”, the government said.
As well as removing this right, there will also be a review of the maintenance requirement for students and dependents and a crackdown on “unscrupulous” education agents “who make use of inappropriate applications to sell immigration, not education”.
