UK bans Nigeria health workers, others from bringing dependants

The United Kingdom (UK) government has continue to cut down high level of illegal migration to the country with its stiff policies.

The government in a terse statement via the UK Home Office has now banned health and care workers from Nigeria and other foreign countries from bringing dependants to the country.

According to the UK government, overseas care workers brought an estimated 120,000 dependants to the UK in the year ending September 23.

The statement reads: “From today, care workers entering the UK on Health and Care Worker visas can no longer bring dependants.

“This is part of our plan to deliver the biggest ever cut in migration.”
