It comes during the Nigerian president's state visit to the UK - the first by a west African leader in 37 years.
The government has agreed a deal with Nigeria to make it easier to remove people with no right to be in the UK.
For the first time, the Nigerian government will recognise UK letters - an identification document issued to individuals without a valid passport - so people will no longer have to wait for emergency travel documents to be issued before they can be returned.
The agreement was struck during President Bola Ahmed Tinubu state visit to the UK.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer hailed the president's visit - the first by a leader of the west African nation in 37 years - as "historic".
