Bringing nephew to the UK

[Hola2015]

Hi,
I am considering bringing my nephew back to the UK from Nigeria, I am a UK citizen leaving in Kent. My nephew was given birth to here in the UK when his dad was on student visa. After his dad who happens to be my younger brother finished his studies in 2012, he went back to Nigeria with his family including my nephew. At the time, I was still on Tier 1 visa.

Here are few details about my nephew
Age - 8 years old
County and country of birth - Nottingham, UK
Year of birth - 2009
Year out of UK - 2012, that is five years ago. My nephew was 3 years old at the time

My question is, what option is available for me to bring him back to the UK so that he can be leaving with me and my family, attend school here and probably be able to regularise his stay permanently within the UK please?

Thank you for your suggestions

None that will make him dependent on you or your status. Presumably he lives in Nigeria with his family/parents.

Thank you CR001 for your response. Yes, he does leave currently with his parents in Nigeria. what of if we are able to get him an admission in a private school here in the UK and obtain child student visa for him?

Child student visa does not lead to ILR/settlement.

He would need an HO approved sponsor, acceptance on a course, a CAS and then apply and pay the visa fee and IHS fee.
