The Centre for United States Immigration Services, a premier legal firm specialising in US immigration law and global mobility, has officially launched operations in Nigeria, marking a strategic move to bridge Africa’s talent and business potential with opportunities in the United States.
Led by a Nigerian-American attorney, Dr Martins Imudia, the firm said in a statement that the expansion positions CFUIS as a trusted legal and business partner for individuals and organisations across the continent seeking expert guidance on US immigration, workforce mobility, and international expansion.
Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and having other offices at Bradenton, Clearwater, Dearborn, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Miami and Orlando, CFUIS offers a full suite of immigration services, including employment and family-based petitions, naturalisation, deportation defence, and global mobility consulting.
“Under Dr Imudia’s leadership, the firm has become known for its culturally sensitive, results-driven approach that not only simplifies complex legal processes but also opens doors for global opportunity. Whether advising multinational companies on workforce mobility or assisting individuals seeking lawful permanent residency, CFUIS provides tailored solutions grounded in empathy and precision.
“The new Nigeria office will serve as a vital gateway for clients looking to access U.S. markets, relocate talent, or expand their business footprints,” the statement read partly.
The statement described Imudia as a seasoned legal practitioner born in Oza-Nogogo, Delta State, Nigeria.
“A respected authority in immigration and global development, Imudia is also the CEO of Siotoh Holdings LLC, a diversified business group overseeing ventures such as Siotoh Academy, Siotoh Global Mobility, and Otawise Technologies. His business interests are rooted in innovation, entrepreneurship, creating economic opportunities and economic empowerment—creating practical solutions for a rapidly evolving global economy.
“Beyond legal and business pursuits, Imudia is a champion of humanitarian development and a philanthropist. He founded the Imudia Foundation to support vulnerable populations through healthcare access, social infrastructure projects, and community empowerment. In a continued demonstration of this commitment, he co-founded Oza Invest Limited to drive capital investment and economic revitalisation in his hometown, bringing a practical model of sustainable development to life.
“For Dr Imudia, service to mankind is the highest calling. His guiding philosophy revolves around leveraging his skills and resources for the common good. Whether through legal advocacy, business initiatives, or philanthropic efforts, he remains steadfast in his mission to uplift communities, empower individuals, and create lasting social impact,” the statement said.
It was further disclosed that in his latest initiative, Imudia haspartnered with the Delta State Government to establish a vocational training school aimed at addressing unemployment and equipping youth with in-demand, job-ready skills.
According to the statement, the school, a project of Siotoh Academy, is now accepting registrations and offers a unique opportunity for individuals and families seeking long-term economic stability through practical education.
“This initiative reflects his ongoing commitment to creating long-term solutions for unemployment and underdevelopment. By investing in vocational training, Imudia hopes to empower a new generation with the tools and knowledge to become self-reliant, productive members of society. The vocational school stands as a testament to his belief in education as a cornerstone of economic empowerment and social transformation,” it was added.
Imudia was quoted as saying that, “Our expansion into Nigeria is not just about legal services—it’s about unlocking global opportunities for individuals, empowering communities through education, and building a future where Africa plays a leading role on the world stage.
“Our work is a testament to the power of combining expertise with purpose, driving change across borders and inspiring a new generation of globally minded leaders.”
