Immigration can give substantial economic benefits and more flexible labor market, greater skills base, increased demand and a greater diversity of innovation, however, immigration is also controversial and there is also an ongoing debate whether or not immigration of unskilled workers lead to downward pressure on wages and even unemployment of native workers.
The world before the covid-19 pandemic which now seems so long ago was radically different in many ways.
The pandemic has generated a certain sense of helplessness and global society and many of our life priorities have been recalibrated for instance security has now overtaken purely economic factors on the rights which has led to the changes and the programs but now the other attractions have emerged security access to world-class Healthcare, reliability of infrastructure, risk management and most importantly stability
for families.
In his reaction, country manager (Nigeria), RIF Trust, Zuberu Kadiri said ‘Japa’ is not a Nigerian syndrome but a global syndrome especially during the covid pandemic.
He said people are seeking for SPEED an acronym for Security, Privilege, Exemption, Endowment and Dominion.
“Security because people want to be able to have options in their identity where if they find themselves in a scenario where one identity is limiting them in their quest for a better life, better quality of living, access to investment, they can Finance the opportunity and citizenship will give them.
“Same thing with privilege which is the key in speed. Privilege because some nationalities are required to apply for a Visa, other people enjoy visa-free access to those sort after locations, privileged across many sectors. Privilege is Big.
“Endowment because the benefit of bilateral collaborations between countries have seen business exchanges between those countries and Jobs. Citizens of those countries enjoy a lot more by just harnessing those bilateral exchanges so that by being a nationality of a certain identity you enjoy certain privileges and certain endowments in terms of access to credit, access to finance, taking advantage of school quotas and exchange programs and the likes.
