“So migration is a global imperative. People move all over the world for work, for education, and so on. And so about four years ago, we started building this company to support the ambitions of humans all around the world who want to move, to become residents, workers, even citizens of different countries. We support both outflow and inflow, what we can call talent exchange for people.”
Also speaking, the Co-Founder and Chief Operations Officer at Vesti, Abimbola Amusan, disclosed that the company expended over N500 million loan to students who are traveling abroad to study.
He said, “we have disbursed over 500 million loans in 2025 years to date, we’ve done over a billion last year in all kinds of loans, statement loans, education loans, migration support loans.This is just only a part of our business, we have over 10,000 cards already issued in terms of debit cards.
“There are different sections of our business. For families that migrated over 4000, who have moved to different countries. The statistics and the numbers are not what impresses us but the impact that we make in the lives of the people.”
However, the Special Adviser Investment and Chief Executive Officer, Osun State Investment Promotion Agency, OSIPA, Felix Olagunju, commended Vesti for the initiative, noting that it aligns with the state government’s drive to foster innovation, human capital development, and youth empowerment.
