He said: DIDI is our unique product to attract diaspora funds and investments into the country. The objective is to stand in the gap for Nigerians in the diaspora who seek to remit funds home for investment purposes because most of them are afraid of losing their funds to unscrupulous persons or agents, so we bridge that gap.”
According to him, Nigeria diaspora funds is ranked amongst the top five globally, estimated at about $100 billion per annum, and “our target is to use the Optiva Capital structure, infrastructure, and wealth management skills to get 5% channelled into productive investments that will yield good returns at home for Nigerians in the diaspora.”
On the modalities for implementation, Mr. Nechi said: “you have to get Nigerians who “seek to build homes to send their money so that we help them bridge the gap of trust and dishonest third parties. We help the diasporans to create an enabling environment that will ensure that they track the progress of their sundry investments. With DIDI we shall help investors manage the risks associated with repatriation of funds back to the country for sundry investments ranging from property development, farms, to cottage factories.” The Chairman of Optiva Capital Partners further reiterated that the company has since created structures that will help Nigerians in the diaspora to manage businesses back home end to end, including setting of farms, and that for each project or investment that every diasporan wishes to make, Optiva Capital Partners shall help in the land acquisition, proper registration of titles, and eventual setting up of the business.
According to him, Optiva Capital offers an opportunity for safety of funds and investments, and as such the Diaspora Investor Direct Investment (DIDI) is intended to bring into the country about $5 billion in investments.
