Nigeria, Ghana, Vietnam and many other countries students to be banned from 4 years courses in the US...

 

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposed fixed time limits could restrict some international students including those from Nigeria, from admission of more than two years.


If approved, international students, exchange visitors and foreign information media representatives will find it difficult obtaining visas for a four-year course in the US.


Under DHS’s new proposal, students from Afghanistan, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo (DRC) Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Kenya, and Kosovo would be banned from getting student visas longer than two years.


Others are Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Libya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Moldova, Mongolia, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Rwanda, Samoa, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Togo, Tonga, Turmenistan, Tuvalu Uganda, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Yemen and Zambia.


Though valid status document provides legal grounds for students to continue their study in the US whether or not their student visas have expired, the DHS said its decision to institute fixed time periods for certain visitors is to “encourage program compliance, reduce fraud and enhance national security.”

End SARS: Buhari govt not ready to respect Nigerians’ rights...

 Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has claimed there are no signs that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration is ready to respect the rights of Nigerians. Speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday night, Falana also criticized the federal government for setting up the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team, to replace the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Unit (SARS). “As far as I’m concerned, so far, we are only scratching the surface of the problem. And there’s been no indication that the government is prepared yet to respect the rights of the Nigerian people embodied in the constitution and other statues. “For me, it is not actually the name that matters and I think what the youths are saying is that beyond renaming, they want to see concrete steps taken to show that it is not going to be business as usual when it comes to policing in Nigeria,” Falana said.
