How many British Citizens run to Nigeria to seek for better jobs or go to our mortuary to wash dead bodies in order to make money and send to their poor parents back home? The answer is 0.00!
But indications emerged on Tuesday that the Federal Government would opt for a retaliatory measure if the United Kingdom went ahead to implement its proposed £3,000 visa bond...
FG was said to have made this known during a private meeting between Foreign Affairs Minister, Olugbenga Ashiru, and British High Commissioner, Andrew Pocock, in Abuja.
Nigeria is one of the 6 countries whose nationals would be made to pay the £3,000 bond under a proposed policy that will take effect in November. The others are India, Bangledish, Ghana, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
It was gathered that Andrew Pocock admitted at the meeting with Ashiru that the UK planned to introduce the “financial bond as a way of tackling abuse in the immigration system”, but added, “No final decision has been made.”
Minister Ashiru, who was said to have recalled the days when nationals of Commonwealth travelled freely to the UK, expressed displeasure over the policy which he described as not only “discriminatory but capable of undermining the spirit of the Commonwealth family.”
A source said, “The minister asked him [Pocock] to think about the implications a retaliatory measure would have on the two countries. The minister stressed that Nigeria might also impose £3,000 visa bond on British nationals coming into the country too.”
I think Nigerian government should put more effort in developing out country.
