Summary

In this week’s episode, I am joined by Raymond Asfour, CEO and Co-Managing Partner of Expectation State, a development consultancy operating in multiple countries across the world and Dr Lucy Hovil, partner at Expectation State to discuss the factors behind and implications of the U.K. government playing a visa restriction on Namibia, Angola and DRC (and other wider implications).
