The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr. Richard Montgomery, has revealed that the United Kingdom government has so far given no fewer than 430,000 visas to Nigerians seeking to study and relocate to the European nation in 2024.
Montgomery disclosed this during a meeting with the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, in Abuja on Wednesday.
He also assured the Federal Government that there would be adequate security measures in place for Nigerians in the UK.
He noted that the UK remains a safe haven despite the ongoing unrest, highlighting the country’s diverse population.
Many Nigerian families have relocated to the UK due to the harsh economic condition of the country. Few weeks ago, report came in that about 3,000 nurses left the country for greener pastures oversees in what stakeholders described as worrisome for our health sector.
