Optiva Capital Partners has restated its leadership in the global migration and investment immigration sector, positioning itself as a key bridge between African investors and international opportunities.
Speaking during a media parley with business editors in Lagos, the Chairman of Optiva Capital Partners, Franklin Nechi, said the firm remained committed to connecting African investors and professionals to global platforms that allow them to live, work, and invest without borders.
Nechi described Optiva as “the bridge that connects African potential to global possibilities,” noting that the firm’s mission is to empower Africans through access to international markets, education, healthcare, and investment opportunities.
He explained that the growing demand for second citizenship and residency-by-investment programmes has become a defining feature of global wealth management, as more individuals seek access to mobility and economic diversification.
“Today, mobility is power. Access is wealth. The world rewards those who can cross borders, seize opportunities, and connect effortlessly with global systems of education, healthcare, business, and innovation,” Nechi said.
The Optiva chairman noted that the company recognised early on that Africa’s emerging class of entrepreneurs and investors needed more than financial assets — they needed access to global opportunities and stability.
“From a pioneering idea, Optiva has evolved into Africa’s leading investment immigration and wealth management firm, trusted by thousands of clients across the continent,” Nechi stated. “Our vision has always been to empower Africans to live globally without borders.”
Nechi said Optiva’s continued success is anchored on three key principles — credibility, partnership, and impact. He noted that the company’s achievements were built on trust, transparency, and collaboration with global partners who share its vision of inclusive prosperity.
“We are proud that Optiva Capital Partners is recognised today as the number one name in investment immigration in Africa, not by our claim alone, but by the trust and success of our clients and the recognition of our global partners,” he said.
He described the global migration and investment immigration industry as a multi-billion-dollar ecosystem that continues to grow as nations compete to attract investors, skilled professionals, and entrepreneurs.
According to him, the sector presents a unique opportunity for Africans to become active participants in the international economy, leveraging new residency and citizenship programmes to expand their reach and influence.
“At Optiva, we believe the future belongs to a borderless generation of Africans who can study, invest, and thrive anywhere in the world while still contributing meaningfully to their home economies,” Nechi concluded.
Industry analysts say Optiva’s model reflects a wider shift in Africa’s wealth management and investment landscape, where more individuals are exploring international residency options as part of long-term financial planning.
They note that investment immigration has become an attractive pathway for high-net-worth individuals seeking global mobility, access to better healthcare and education, and safer investment environments.
Optiva Capital Partners, which operates across several African markets, provides advisory services in investment migration, wealth management, and global property investment. The company partners with governments, financial institutions, and citizenship-by-investment programmes in countries such as Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Portugal, and the United Arab Emirates.
By combining local expertise with international partnerships, Optiva continues to position itself as a trusted brand in helping Africans expand their global footprint while maintaining strong ties to their home economies.
