Nigerians and other immigrant students in the United Kingdom presently run a significant danger of being deported after completing their studies.

The Daily Mail reports that Braverman is attempting to limit the length of time international students may remain in the UK after graduating.

According to Inspiration FM, foreigners who come to Britain to study are now allowed to remain for two years after graduating.

However, Braverman's proposal to reduce that to only six months, after which they must have skilled employment that qualifies them for a work visa or leave the UK, is reportedly facing opposition from the education department.

The Daily Mail said that the change is the most recent step in a long-running dispute over the number of international students.

Braverman pledged to curb immigration and "significantly reduce" the number of foreign workers without skills who enter the country, from 239,000 to "tens of thousands.

As part of that, she wants to reduce the number of international students who can apply for a graduate post-study work visa, which allows any student who has passed their degree to remain and work in the UK for at least two years.

“But education officials fear this will make the UK less attractive to foreign students, who pay far more than UK students for their courses and are a major source of income for universities,” the media house stated.

Inspiration FM also reports that the UK is one of the top destinations for Nigerian students seeking to study overseas.

Recent data released by the home office of the UK revealed that the number of study visas released to Nigerians increased by 222.8 percent, with 65,929 issued as of June 2022, as opposed to 20,427 in the same period in 2021.

Similarly, according to SBM Intelligence, Nigerian students and their dependents in the United Kingdom contributed an estimated £1.9 billion to the UK economy.

A Professor of Mathematics at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Gbolahan Bolarin, noted that the government needs to dedicate more efforts to the funding of tertiary education in the country so as to prevent a total collapse of the sector.

According to the administration of Lagos State University (LASU), Miniskirts, face caps, rolled sleeves, and other types of "indecent apparel" have been barred on campus. 

The instruction was given in a statement that was made by the vice-chancellor of the university, Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello. She gave the institution's teachers the command to start preventing pupils wearing "inappropriate" attire from entering lecture sessions.

She said that the students often disobeyed the university's dress code standards. She also suggested that department heads, faculty officers, provosts, and deans make sure that students are adequately attired for their particular faculties.

“Students are also prohibited from wearing tattered and dirty jeans with holes or obscene subliminal messages; shirts without buttons; improperly buttoned shirts; rolling of sleeves or flying collar; and wearing of face caps or complete face covering with very dark glasses.

Wearing of tight-fitting apparels; wearing clothes that reveal sensitive parts of the body; wearing shirts and tops with obscene, obnoxious, or seductive inscription; wearing face caps or complete covering of face (very dark glasses), wearing “baggy, saggy or ass-level clothes and any other form of indecent trousers and piercing of body and tattooing.”

The female students were warned not to wear "lousy, unkempt, extremely bogus hair or colored artificial hair, brightly tinted hair/eye lashes/brown, fixing of long eye lashes, nails and artificial dreadlock," while the male students were restricted from wearing earrings and necklaces as well as plaiting, weaving, or bonding of hair.

The school administration issued a warning that any student spotted on campus in violation of the dress code will face appropriate consequences.

Nigeria has been classified among African nations whose nationals may now apply for certified teacher status via the Teaching Regulation Agency in the United Kingdom, effective February 2023.

“This change is part of the launch of a new service.

Nigerian musician Oladapo Oyebanji, popularly known as D'banj, has been allegedly arrested and held by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) (ICPC).

According to sources, the musician was detained on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, when ICPC agents descended on him and compelled him to surrender.

D'banj was purportedly detained on suspicion of illegally transferring cash earmarked for the N-Power project into his accounts.

The N-Power initiative is an empowerment plan put up by the Nigerian government in 2016 to solve problems including young unemployment and enhance social development.

It has been confirmed that the singer formed a partnership with certain government officials, who inserted non-existent recipients into the plan.

The money designated to those recipients has now been identified in accounts that are related to the singer.

He was summoned for weeks before his arrest but failed to heed them.

Having dodged the ICPC's request for a dialogue many times, the commission was obliged to ask for his arrest either in Nigeria or overseas. This led to his arrest yesterday.

The authorities denied the singer's plea for bail because on him to present at his trial if he is freed.

It has been reported that the ICPC may seek the court for a longer detention order today, December 7th, to continue iteration before charging the singer to court.

D'banj is a Nigerian singer-songwriter popularly known as the Kokomaster. He has been an active member of the Nigerian music scene since 2004, with multiple successful tracks to his credit.
