Nigeria and the UK have signed 3 major MoUs covering migration partnership, organised immigration crime & border security, and expanded business visas for UK firms operating in Nigeria.

Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo said the agreements reflect Nigeria’s push for a transparent, rules-based migration system that is safe, orderly and mutually beneficial, while tackling abuse of legal pathways and strengthening border control.

He noted the deals will boost trade, ease mobility for businesses, and support Nigeria’s drive toward a trillion-dollar economy under Bola Ahmed Tinubu, removing barriers linked to irregular migration.

UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood described Nigeria as a leading bilateral partner with a shared vision for deeper cooperation, while Trade Envoy Florence Eshalomi said expanded visas will unlock economic growth opportunities for both countries.
