Receiving the delegation, on Thursday 21st March, 2024 in Abuja, the Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Informed them that the commission serves as a link between Nigerians living abroad and the country by way of opening them up to investment opportunities in the country.
“NiDCOM serves as the bridge connecting Nigeria and its Diasporans, facilitating mutual growth and development.” She said
At NiDCOM, we are passionate about encouraging the diaspora to invest back in the country as it will go a long way toward contributing to the Gross Domestic Product of the country by generating employment opportunities in many sectors of the economy.
“I am glad and proud that in the past couple of years, we have seen the investment that Nigerians in the diaspora have made back home.
We have them investing in the healthcare, education, agri-business, real estate, and ICT sectors, among others.
The NiDCOM Boss briefed the delegations on the Nigeria Diaspora Investment Summit (NDIS) which had been hosted six editions
She assured that the Commission will continue to build that bridge between Nigerians in Diaspora and their home country and build trust which I think is very important
Dabiri- Erewa who expressed willingness of NiDCOM to collaborate with Optiva Capital Partners Ltd set up a committee to work with Optiva for a strong strategic engagement to unlock greater investment in Nigeria,
Earlier speaking, the CEO of Optiva Capital Partners, Dr. Jane Kimemia, who led some members of the management from the company on a visit to the headquarters of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) used the opportunity to brief the Chairman about activities of Optiva Capital Partners Ltd saying our mission is to improve lives by protecting, enhancing and optimizing our clients’ wealth through our rich network of global partners, our experience, and integrity of our process.
Kimemia said the company
Optiva Capital Partners is a wealth management company specializing in investment immigration, investment advisory and insurance services and it provides a wide range of investment solutions across geographies and asset classes
“ this could serve as a platform that would provide the bridge through which diaspora investments would flow to the country using the vast network of international partners it is working with”
She added that Optiva is consistent with its drive to support Nigerians to grow their wealth.
Kimemia further stated that Nigerians, being the most global of Africans, seek global opportunities to meet the need for their children’s education, healthcare, access to more economies and markets to expand their trade and business.
She explained that, through second citizenship, Optiva Capital assists discerning Nigerians to save scarce foreign exchange because they pay a fraction of what non-citizens pay for education, healthcare, property, amongst other social benefits.
She disclosed that Optiva Capital currently has 23 branches across the country in Lagos, Enugu, Port Harcourt, Warri, Kano, Abuja, Onitsha etc
Our clients are global citizens, which we see Nigeria with her population of over 200 million people who can key into it.
“Also Nigeria has a viable market in various sectors of the economy that can thrive and that is where we come in,’’ she said.
“At Optiva we help Nigerians in the Diaspora bridge the gap of trust and dishonest third parties” she added
