If you have gotten visa, you don't need another visa interview, it's just an update of i20 that's is necessary,
From my own pocket of view,

TWoods:
You would not need another interview, as long as you are going to the same school and program. But you must let your DSO know that you already got your F1 visa stamp when you request for an updated I-20. But don't be surprised if the US chooses to remove this option for Nigerians if they feel so many are starting to abuse it.

TWoods:
Only the original, ink-signed copy of your I-20 is acceptable at the port of entry. It is surprising that your school has not sent one to you knowing full well you resume on the 21st, less than 3 days away. You need to have your school send this to you ASAP and also extend your resumption date.

If you have not booked your ticket yet, chances are you will get one at a highly inflated price and you will need to fly out latest the night of the 20th to make the 21st resumption date. It seems to me that you do not have sufficient funds to travel or school in the US and the sponsor you claimed at your interview is not willing to sponsor you. You need to put all emotions aside and critically consider whether you want to defer your admission to spring until you have sorted out your financial issues.

Thank you for your response, sir. God bless for the information.

Good day, everyone

Quick question from someone trying for the January window for an Msc.

How much would my sponsor need to have in their accout? Is there are fixed amount, or does it differ?

Someone said it was 20million, but that is appalling.

At most $700/month if the person works on campus for 20hours per week.

Double that for holiday.

Depending on the city, you’d be spending close to that amount on living expenses per month.

If he has some amount on him, he can consider transferring to a cheaper community college. That’s the only feasible option. But abandoning education and working illegally? It’s a bad idea.

iwriterng:
F1 visa is not HB1 visa. You’re not permitted to work on F1 visa.

If you want to “risk” nonsense, you will be out of status, your mates in Nigeria will conclude their degree, apply for graduate school, get full funding and come to America, and you will end up with no degree and no status in the US.

You will only be able to work under the table, and soon enough, immigration will get a hold of you and send you back home, with nothing to show for time time spent in America.

You’re NOT in a dilemma. You just want somebody to tell you it’s okay to commit a crime.

But for free; I tell you: IT’S NOT OKAY.

Don’t go to America with the intention to abuse your visa. It will end up badly.
