British passport holders can apply under the visa waiver programme to enter the USA

Absolutely ... except I don't think our OP meant this:
as he holds a britsh pastport
I think they meant he holds a Nigerian passport. Otherwise he wouldn't need a student visa in the first place ... he'd already be british and be in no need of visas.

A british spouse visa will confer no right to travel to other countries on him. While in theory he will be allowed free movement in the EU if you wish to travel there you should apply for a schegen visa for him to be safe (which is free in fairness for him and easy to obtain) and he will need a US visa if he wants to travel there.

All assuming ... of course ... you meant he has a nigerian passport.

If he holds a different passport - please tell us.
