The largest investment immigration firm in Africa and leader in wealth management, Optiva Capital Partners, has reaffirmed its commitment to working with government organisations on projects that promote national development. This declaration was made on the just finished National Diaspora Day, which was sponsored in large part by Optiva Capital and was organised by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM).
Thank you for visiting The Vestigator, don't forget to share!
Every year on July 25, National Diaspora Day is marked to honour and appreciate the contributions made by Nigerians residing overseas. It promotes their interaction with their country of origin while acknowledging the economic, social, and cultural effects of the Nigerian diaspora.
The “Japa phenomenon and its implication for national development” was the focus of this year’s theme. The Yoruba word “Japa” means to migrate in search of more fertile land. “Our partnership with NIDCOM goes beyond the commemoration of National Diaspora Day,” said Dr. Jane Kimemia, Chief Executive Officer of Optiva Capital Partners, in remarks to reporters during the ceremony. She was accompanied by Amaka Okeke-Lawal, Executive Director of Business Development.
In order to help Nigerians who want to invest in industries including real estate, hospitality, education, health, ICT, and agriculture, Optiva Capital actively uses its wide network. Our goal in partnering with NIDCOM is to give our family and friends new options and doors around the globe so they can accomplish their investment objectives and support national development.
Through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Optiva Capital Partners and NIDCOM have established a strategic collaboration arrangement intended to meet the needs of Nigerians across the globe who are looking for possibilities in both foreign investment and homeland development.
In order to better serve Nigerians living overseas, the partnership focusses on three key areas: international real estate, investment advisory services, and diaspora participation. Optiva Capital Partners is constructing bridges with NIDCOM that will not only link Nigerians to the rest of the world but also give them opportunities to accumulate wealth and make a significant contribution to Nigeria’s economic development. Remittances from Nigerians living abroad have played a significant role in the growth of their native nation.
According to data from the World Bank, Nigerians living outside have sent $99 billion to their country over the last five years. “We are collaborating with private companies and the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment to boost diaspora investments in the country by designing and creating different investment channels and negotiating long-term investments,” said Hon. Dr. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman of NIDCOM, emphasising the need to create opportunities for the diaspora to invest in Nigeria.
In his speech, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu exhorted Nigerians living abroad to be agents of progress in their home country. Tinubu was represented by George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
President Tinubu stated that his passion to support the development of his country drove him to return to Nigeria, citing his own experiences there. Optiva Capital Partners is a leading wealth management organisation that specialises in worldwide real estate, insurance, and investment advising. It is also the largest investment immigration company in Africa.
