Nigerian students at Teesside facing deportation
Students have been thrown off courses at Teesside University and ordered to leave the UK after a currency crisis left them struggling to pay tuition fees on time.
The students were blocked from their studies and reported to the 91热爆 Office after the value of Nigeria's Naira plummeted, wiping out their savings. Joanna Morris reports.
Teesside University says it's made "every effort" to support affected students who've been offered individual meetings with specialist staff and payment plans where requested.
The 91热爆 Office says a decision to offer or withdraw visa sponsorship rests with the sponsoring institution.
