Imperial Citizenship, a Dubai-based leader in Citizenship by Investment (CBI) and Residency by Investment (RBI) solutions, has expanded global mobility options for Nigerians with the launch of its office in Lagos.
This move signifies Imperial Citizenship’s recognition of Nigeria’s growing political and economic influence, alongside its rising population of high net worth individuals (HNWIs) seeking international travel freedom and security.
Imperial Citizenship boasts a successful track record, having secured over 2,000 approvals for clients seeking alternative citizenship and residency pathways. Their partnerships with over 15 governments worldwide provide a diverse range of programs that comply with international regulations.
Speaking at the launch event in Lagos, founder and CEO of Imperial Citizenship, Mr. Zaid Al Hindi said “Nigeria’s position as a leading African economy, coupled with its increasingly mobile and globalised population, creates a significant demand for our services.”
He added that “our presence in Lagos allows us to directly address this need, offering Nigerians strategic solutions for enhanced global mobility, international diversification, and a secure environment for themselves and their families.”
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the outlook for sub-Saharan Africa is gradually improving, after four turbulent years. The continent’s growth is expected to rise from 3.4 percent in 2023 to 3.8 percent in 2024, with growth projections reaching 4.0 percent in 2025.
Hindi pointed out that Imperial Citizenship’s expansion aligns with Africa’s growing importance on the global stage, recognising the increasing desire of Nigerians to participate in the international community.
“Through CBI and RBI programs, Imperial Citizenship offers Nigerians access to visa-free travel to a wider range of countries, potentially stronger passports for international business ventures, and the security of alternative citizenship in times of political or economic instability.
“The Company leverages direct government partnerships, ensuring transparency and efficiency throughout the application process. This is particularly important for Nigerians seeking stability and security in their chosen destination countries,” he said.
Hindi Speaking on Imperial Citizenship’s approach, Hindi aid adds, “Imperial Citizenship prioritises a client-centric approach. Dedicated advisors work closely with each client to understand their unique circumstances and aspirations”.
He also said this ensures that Nigerians receive tailored solutions that meet their specific needs for international mobility, investment opportunities, and security, saying that “the launch of the Lagos office underscores Imperial Citizenship’s commitment to global expansion.
“With physical offices in Dubai and now Nigeria as well as operational representatives in Mexico, Algeria, and Turkey, Imperial Citizenship demonstrates its ability to cater to a geographically diverse clientele seeking international opportunities.”
Looking ahead, Hindi stated “Imperial Citizenship plans to broaden its service offerings and expand its reach into new markets.
“By strategically targeting Nigeria’s growing global influence, Imperial Citizenship positions itself as a leader in facilitating secure and advantageous international mobility options for discerning Nigerians.”
