The federal government is to intervene in the case of some Nigerian students at Teesside University directed to leave the United Kingdom on the allegation that they defaulted in paying their school fees.
The students embarked on a protest against the directive on May 22.

At the meeting were the Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa; Representative of the Nigerian High Commission UK, Amb. Christian Okeke; President, Nigerian Students Union UK, Mr Yemi Soile, and many of the affected students.
The affected students were said to have passionately narrated their ordeal just as they called for intervention.
During the meeting, the chairman NIDCOM appealed to the students to remain calm and not take laws into their hands while appealing to the university to treat the students with justice and fairness.

It was resolved that a delegation, to be led by a representative of the Nigerian Embassy in the UK, Amb. Christian Okeke, leaders of the Nigerian Students Union in UK, will visit the management of Teesside University to intervene on the allegations of unfair and unjust deportation order served on some Nigerian students in the middle of their studies.
