The United Kingdom and Nigeria have signed an agreement to speed up the deportation of criminals.
The deal will see offenders receive new travel documents within five working days.
Home Secretary Priti Patel confirmed the Memorandum of
Understanding – MoU – with Nigeria.
The official noted that the MoU on migration issues would tackle illegal migration and the significant threat it poses to both nations.
Patel said the countries will share their expertise and take the fight against persons responsible for criminality and security breaches.
The UK Home Office has signed similar agreements with Serbia, Albania and India.
