The United Kingdom is set to announce new restrictions that will most likely stop Nigerian students, other nationalities studying in the UK from bringing their families over.
According to an exclusive report by The Sun
UK, this crack down will be announced this week.
The crackdown will see all masters students
and many other post grads banned from bringing family over.
However, the ban will not apply to PHD
students, whose courses usually last between 3 and 5 years and are very highly
skilled, the UK media House reported.
This follows the reports that net migration
into the UK has skyrocketed to 1 million with Tory MPs asking the Prime
Minister, Rishi Sunak, “to get a grip on
the rocketing numbers.”
To get a hold of the climbing numbers, UK
ministers are said to be expected to announce the immigration clampdown on
Tuesday or Wednesday.
The Sun reports that “Rishi Sunak is expected
to come out fighting on immigration – pointing out they are figures he
inherited as they date back to the year ending December 2022 – two months after
he became PM.
“There has been an explosion in the number of
people coming to Britain piggybacking on their relative’s student visa.
“Students brought 135,788 family members to
Britain last year – nine times more than in 2019.
“Last year, 59,053 Nigerian students brought
over 60,923 relatives.”
“We have got to get a grip,” a Tory MP told
The Sun on Sunday.
