The UK has banned health and care workers from Nigeria and other foreign nations from bringing their dependants to the country.
The announcement came through a brief statement on the verified UK Home Office X handle on Monday.
The UK government stated that the action is a component of its strategy to decrease migration, citing that overseas care workers brought approximately 120,000 dependants to the UK in the year ending September 23.
