The Project Manager of the IIUSA/ACCI program, Mr Fife Banks stated that the purpose of the programme scheduled for 20th October at ACCI is to enlighten Nigerians on the importance of investors getting the right information and dealing with credible providers of the EB-5 opportunities.

He urges the Nigerian government to take a cue from other developed nations in creating a feasible framework to drive our visa policy NVP 2020 which includes Nigerian citizenship by investment.

“An investment in an EB-5 project is not just a financial investment but also an investment in a better future, safety, freedom and opportunities for one’s family. One of the main U.S. Green Card benefits of the EB5 program is the opportunity to access the U.S. education system for your children. Green Cards give EB-5 investors the option to enroll their children in U.S. public schools from elementary school through high school at no cost. Children who have experience in U.S. classrooms will already be familiar with U.S. educational settings and will not have to go through as intense an adjustment period as international students often do upon entering U.S. colleges.”
