The United Kingdom Government has announced that students from Nigeria and other countries who want to stay and work in the UK after successful completion of their degree program or above, or an eligible professional qualification, can now do so.
According to the 2020 statistics, Nigeria is one of the main countries sending students to the UK, and the numbers have grown in recent years. More than 13,000 Nigerian students were granted a UK study visa, an increase of 56 percent in the previous year.
The graduates can now look for work after their studies for a period of two years and three years for Ph.D. students. The British government says.
The development will allow the UK to retain the brightest and the best students to continue to contribute to the UK post-study. The British High Commission says in a statement.
It stated further that applications for the graduate route will open on July 1, 2021. This will ensure Nigerian students continue to choose the UK ahead of other countries as the destination to study and build their careers.
