The United Kingdom has deported 43 Nigerians as part of its latest move to tighten immigration controls, according to a report published on the official government website, gov.uk, on Friday.
Among those deported were 15 failed asylum seekers and 11 foreign national offenders who had completed their prison sentences. Additionally, seven others voluntarily left the UK as part of the operation.
The deportation flight forms part of the government’s broader “Plan for Change”, aimed at restoring discipline within the immigration system by ensuring that those without the legal right to remain are swiftly removed.
This marks the second deportation flight to Nigeria and Ghana since the last general election, bringing the total number of deportees under the new administration to 87.
Officials highlighted the growing collaboration between the UK and Nigeria on migration management.
Since the current government took office, more than 24,000 persons have been deported — an 11 per cent increase compared to the same period last year. Deportations of foreign national offenders have also seen a 16 per cent rise, with 3,594 criminals removed.
Authorities stressed that all deportations are carried out “in a dignified and respectful manner.”

With their record nothing for them. It will not be easy for them to travel out of the country.

They cannot enter the big Five Eyes countries which are
Australia,Canada,New Zealand,United Kingdom,United States.
