Dubai-based Imperial Citizenship, a leading facilitator of Citizenship and Residency by Investment programs, has announced its expansion into Nigeria with the opening of a new office in Lagos. This strategic move positions Imperial Citizenship to capitalise on the burgeoning African market, particularly Nigeria’s growing population of high net worth individuals (HNWIs).
Imperial Citizenship boasts a successful track record, having secured over 2,000 successful applications for clients seeking alternative citizenship and residency options. Their partnerships with over 15 governments globally provide a diverse range of investment opportunities that comply with international regulations.
“Nigeria’s position as a major African economy, coupled with its rising HNWI population, presents a significant opportunity,” says Mr. Zaid Al Hindi, Founder and CEO of Imperial Citizenship. “Our expansion into Lagos allows us to cater directly to this growing segment, offering them tailored solutions for global mobility, asset diversification, and enhanced lifestyle opportunities.”
African Development Bank Africa has reported that Africa dominates the list of the world’s 20 fastest-growing economies in 2024 as the World Bank projects that growth on the continent will accelerate from a low of 2.6% in 2023 to 3.4 % in 2024. Nigeria, with its robust economy and entrepreneurial spirit, is a key driver of this growth. Imperial Citizenship’s expansion positions the company to serve this increasingly sophisticated clientele seeking international exposure and investment opportunities.
“Imperial Citizenship offers a distinct advantage through its direct government partnerships. We do not operate through intermediaries ensuring transparency, legality, and efficiency in the application process”, Zaid adds. “Furthermore, our client-centric approach prioritises personalised guidance and VIP services, catering to the specific needs and aspirations of each client”.
The launch of the Lagos office reflects 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 dedication to providing unparalleled service to a geographically diverse clientele.
Looking ahead, Imperial Citizenship plans to further broaden its service offerings and expand its reach into new markets. By capitalising on the African market’s immense potential, Imperial Citizenship is well-positioned to solidify its role as a global leader in the Citizenship and Residency by Investment industry.
