The United Kingdom is set to announce new restrictions that will most likely stop Nigerian students and other nationalities studying in the UK from bringing their families over.
\nThis crack down will be announced this week, according to an exclusive report by The Sun UK.
\nThe newspaper said the crackdown will see all masters students and many other post grads banned from bringing family over.
\nHowever, the ban will not apply to PHD students, whose courses usually last between three and five years and are very highly skilled, the UK media House reported.
\nThis development follows the reports that net migration into the UK has skyrocketed to 1 million with Tory MPs asking the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, \u201cto get a grip on the rocketing numbers.\u201d
\nTo get a hold of the climbing numbers, UK ministers are said to be expected to announce the immigration clampdown on Tuesday or Wednesday.
\nThe Sun reports that \u201cRishi Sunak is expected to come out fighting on immigration \u2013 pointing out they are figures he inherited as they date back to the year ending December 2022 \u2013 two months after he became PM.
\n\u201cThere has been an explosion in the number of people coming to Britain piggybacking on their relative\u2019s student visa.
\n\u201cStudents brought 135,788 family members to Britain last year \u2013 nine times more than in 2019.
\n\u201cLast year, 59,053 Nigerian students brought over 60,923 relatives.\u201d
\n\u201cWe have got to get a grip,\u201d a Tory MP told The Sun, yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
