FG: UK Migration Deal Covers Only Nigerians, No Foreign Nationals
The presidency has clarified that the new migration agreement with the UK targets only Nigerian nationals without legal status. According to Temitope Ajayi, media aide to President Tinubu, the deal covers failed asylum seekers, visa overstayers, and convicted Nigerians in the UK. It explicitly excludes non-citizens, so Nigeria will not accept foreign nationals under this arrangement. Returned Nigerians will be treated with dignity and retain their rights under Nigerian law. The agreement also accepts UK-issued identification for return procedures and boosts cooperation on migration management, border security, and capacity building.
