EKO HOT BLOG reports that An economic crash in Nigeria has left Nigerian students in the UK, especially at Teesside University, struggling to afford tuition and living expenses.

Many have turned to Thornaby’s Sprouts Community Food Charity (SCFC) for help, with 75% of its clients now being affected students.

SCFC manager Debbie Fixter says the charity is at “maximum capacity” due to the influx.

The university states it is offering support and requires international students to prove they have sufficient funds when applying for visas.
