Emdee Tiamiyu’s BBC Interview

On May23, 2023; Emdee Tiamiyu was interviewed by the BBC on the huge influx of Nigerians to the UK; Emdee stated in the interview that most Nigerians that come to study in the United Kingdom are not genuine about their intentions. He said,

“The student route is more like an answered prayer. It is a big bracket that’s able to take a lot of people, the ordinary people.

“We’re beginning to see that a lot of people just hide behind the studentship. So the student thing is not real, it’s not like they need the degrees,”

Based in Birmingham, Tiamiyu recently provided an interview in response to the forthcoming immigration regulations. These changes, set to be implemented in January 2024, could potentially disrupt the plans of Nigerian students, among others, studying in the UK who wish to bring their families as dependants.

The revised rules will withdraw the provision allowing international students to transition from the student route to employment routes before the completion of their studies, aiming to prevent any exploitation of the visa system.

The new policy has sparked dissatisfaction among Nigerians, with many suggesting that Tiamiyu’s comments have potentially undermined the opportunities for those with genuine intentions to study in the UK.
