Amaka Okeke urges Africans to embrace second citizenship
Optiva Capital Partners has urged African business owners and families to pursue second citizenship programs as essential tools for wealth preservation and international mobility. Ambassador Amaka Okeke, the firm’s executive director for business development, told business editors in Lagos that obtaining additional passports enables access to superior healthcare systems, educational institutions and commercial markets while safeguarding family assets across multiple generations.
The investment immigration specialist cited cases where clients expanded manufacturing operations in the Middle East and relocated families to Canada for education and medical benefits. Optiva Capital designs customized strategies for obtaining citizenship or residency through investment vehicles in Caribbean nations, European countries and North America, including Grenada, Turkey, Portugal and the United States.
Okeke emphasized that contemporary economic conditions make international access a strategic necessity rather than an optional consideration for entrepreneurs seeking currency diversification and succession planning.
