Great news people of Nigeria! The UK government has announced plans to cancel the £3,000 cash bond that visitors fro
m 'high risk' countries, including Nigeria, were to put up to enter Britain. Below is the latest update from
The Sunday Times UK..
The government is to abandon a controversial plan to impose £3,000 immigration
bonds on visitors from “high-risk” countries in Africa and Asia after Nick
Clegg threatened to block the policy.
The move will be seen by Labour as a humiliating U-turn for Theresa May, the
home secretary. It came after David Cameron backed off from a full-scale
confrontation with the Liberal Democrat leader, who was blocking the
scheme’s progress through cabinet.
A pilot project to target visitors from seven countries — including India,
Pakistan and Nigeria — who would have had to pay a cash guarantee or deposit
to deter immigration abuse was to have been introduced this month.
The plan was to make visitors forfeit £3,000 if they failed to return home by
the time their visas had expired. But in an announcement this weekend the
government said it was canceling the plans
