Some students at Teesside University are being seriously affected by the Nigerian currency crisis.
A university says it will help to fund flights home to Nigeria for crisis-hit students who it reported to the Home Office.Following protests and the intervention of the Nigerian government, the university told the BBC it has now re-enrolled some affected students and opened a travel fund.
As reported by the BBC, the Middlesbrough-based university recently withdrew sponsorship for a number of students and reported them to the Home Office after they fell into tuition fee arrears. "We are working with a small group who do need to return to their home country and are opening an international relief fund for this group only to offer additional financial support for these unexpected travel costs," he added.
One, who did not want to be named, said the university's offer failed to consider the significant impact their actions had on those affected.
