West Africa investment road show to sensitize citizens starts in Abuja, Accra
The West Africa investment road show to sensitize citizens on opportunities in the region has started on October 4th, 2024, in Abuja and Accra, the capitals of Nigeria and Ghana, respectively.
Growing significance of global movement and investment migration, and the need for Nigeria to key in, is dominating public discourse in business circles.
Some Business Chief Executives at a media chat in Lagos shared estimable insights into available international opportunities and business networks which Nigerians must key into if their businesses must increase globally. Reporting from vanguard.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) learnt that with over 40 investment migration programs globally, Henley and Partners are focusing on those best suited for the Nigerian market such as the Portugal Golden Visa Program.
Others are the Spain Program, the UK Program, the Canada Program, and the Caribbean Program, says Chidinma Okebalama, a Senior Consultant at Henley & Partners, a global leader in residence and citizenship planning.
The Managing Director, Private Clients, Troy Hanley, on his part outlined the profits of investment migration on the global business world and the need for Nigerians to participate in a road show planned to sensitize the populace.
“Investment migration is not just about relocation but about securing long-term stability.
“It entails ensuring a brighter future through strategic investments.
“Whether expanding a business globally or securing family safety, Henley & Partners offers the right solutions.” said Troy Hanley.
“Henley & Partners has planned strong partnerships with other global brands offering diverse investment migration opportunities.
“These collaborations provide individuals and investors not only with enhanced global mobility but also with entrepreneurial and business expansion prospects,” he added.
They emphasized that the time to provide Nigerians with opportunities to thrive globally is now.
They are therefore organising a road show tagged “The West Africa Investment Migration Road show” in Nigeria and Ghana.
