On the projected foreign exchange that could come into Nigeria from this initiative, Akai said, “Honestly if we have the number of investors that we are looking at, eventually in a year we should be able to repatriate between $1bn to $2bn to Nigeria because it is high net-worth individuals that should actually take interest in it.”
“Possessing a second passport, for instance the US passport, helps to extend people’s socioeconomic impact and influence, help them build beyond borders and also trade and live without limits,” Akai stated. “In light of the foregoing, the IIUSA has partnered ACCI to organise an annual information series to help prospective US citizens connect with the right people and get correct information, thereby fast-tracking their journey to becoming US passport holders through the EB-5 Investor Visa category,” she said.
