In accordance with Britain’s ‘New Plan For Immigration,’ the Nigerian government has signed an agreement with the United Kingdom to combat illegal migration.
UK Home Office – Britain’s lead department for immigration and passports, drugs policy, crime, fire, counter-terrorism, and police – disclosed this on Friday via its verified Twitter handle.
It said that the new agreement targeted at preventing illegal migration will allow both countries to collaborate more closely on promoting safe and lawful migration and expediting the expulsion of foreign criminals.
In another tweet, Home Secretary and member of the UK Parliament for Witham, Priti Patel, described the agreement as a landmark.
The development, she stated, would increase the deportation of dangerous foreign criminals and take the fight to the criminals who smuggle migrants.
