Nigerian expats have been waiting to hear: your homeland is rolling out the red carpet for your capital.
Vice President Kashim Shettima unveiled reforms that directly address the friction points diaspora investors face. The new Non-Resident BVN and flexible exchange rates aren’t just policy tweaks—they’re concrete solutions designed to make cross-border investing seamless and secure.
But here’s what really matters: the Nigeria Governors’ Forum committed to cutting through the bureaucratic maze that’s frustrated investors for years. Standardized frameworks for land acquisition, taxation, and business registration across states mean you’ll spend less time navigating paperwork and more time building wealth.
The numbers tell the story. Nigerians abroad send home $25 billion annually in remittances. NiDCOM’s Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa laid out the vision: transform those dollars from survival lifelines into structured investments that generate jobs and strengthen local economies.
Over 1,000 participants at the three-day summit explored opportunities spanning healthcare, real estate, agribusiness, fintech, and Nigeria’s thriving creative economy. These aren’t speculative ventures—they’re sectors primed for growth with government backing and diaspora expertise.
The infrastructure is being built. The welcome mat is out. The real question facing Nigerian diaspora professionals isn’t whether opportunities exist back home—it’s whether you’re positioned to capitalize on this moment.
Your wealth could shape Nigeria’s future. The framework is finally in place to make it happen.
