FG Summons British High Commissioner Over £3,000 Visa Bond

On Monday, the Federal Government summoned the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr. Andrew Pocock, over the development requiring Nigerian travellers to the UK to deposit £3,000 as bond in case they overstay their visa limits.
The House of Representatives which flayed the policy, argued that it could have negative impact on the relationship between the two countries.

Pocock is to explain to government if the plan is true and why Nigeria is a target. Government is worried about the highly discriminatory policy which tends to portray the country in a bad light. Pocock would meet with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru, on Tuesday (today) to explain the policy.
