The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi has clarified that Nigeria will not accept foreign deportees under the newly signed migration agreement with the United Kingdom.
Ajayi, who made the clarification amid what he described as widespread misinformation surrounding the agreement, said there is no provision under the agreement.
Ajayi explained that the deal strictly covers Nigerian citizens residing illegally in the UK.
He said: “For clarity it is important to state that the agreement signed by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo during the State Visit of President Tinubu on behalf of the government of Nigeria and Home Secretary, Rt Hon Shabana Mahmood, on behalf of the UK government only relates to Nigerians who do not have legal status to live and remain in the UK.
