The deal with Nigeria to return Deport Nigerian National to their own Country was agreed by the Nigerian Government back in July 2022 under Conservatives .

Home Secretary Priti Patel said:
It is an important development that the UK and Nigeria have signed an agreement to co-operate on migration issues, to tackle illegal migration and the significant threat it poses to both nations.
The deal will mean that operational teams in both countries will share their expertise to take the fight to criminal people smugglers who are responsible for a wider range of criminality and put profit before people while undermining the security of our two countries. This landmark agreement will increase the deportation of dangerous foreign criminals to make our streets and country safer.
This is our New Plan for Immigration being put into action.
The Home Secretary and Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the UK, Sarafa Tunji Isola, are meeting today to discuss the two countries’ shared interests and growing collaboration.
Last year the Home Secretary travelled to Ghana for a two-day visit to deepen the UK-Ghana’s security partnership. Whilst there, Priti Patel unveiled the Home Office-funded Ghana Immigration Taskforce Office which works to tackle organised immigration crime. Today’s flight to Ghana shows the partnership in action; delivering for the British public.
The UK-Nigerian MoU will:
promote the economic activities of citizens in both countries
develop better working relationships and expertise on tackling illegal migration
speed up the removal of FNOs from the UK to Nigeria and vice versa. (Through the agreement, emergency travel certificates or temporary passports will be issued to individuals being returned within five working days of receipt of their passport or biometric details)
see the countries work together to support those who choose to come to each country legally and safely
Last week’s returns flight removed:
8 foreign national offenders to Nigeria
5 immigration offenders to Nigeria
3 foreign national offenders to Ghana
