'I was almost losing my mind' - Nigerian student

Teesside University has told us it will now help to fund flights home to Nigeria for students it reported to the Home Office. Students were thrown off courses and ordered to leave the UK after a currency crisis in their home country聽left them struggling to pay tuition fees.

Following protests and the intervention of the Nigerian government, the university says it has now re-enrolled some affected students and opened a travel fund. One student, who wants to remain anonymous, spoke to our reporter Anna Snowdon but said the offer did not go far enough.
