Chairman of Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Group, Dr. Umaru Kwairanga, has stated that the upcoming listing of Dangote Petrochemicals on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) will strengthen the country’s stock market.

The listing is anticipated to attract investment, increase market capitalisation, and enhance the overall performance of the NGX. By bringing one of Africa’s largest petrochemical companies to the stock market, the listing is poised to boost investor confidence and drive growth in the Nigerian capital market.

Kwairanga, emphasised that the anticipated listing aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s economic agenda, which aims to expand Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to $1 trillion by 2030.

According to Kwairanga, key listings in the oil and gas sector, such as the planned sale of a stake in NNPC Limited and Dangote Petrochemicals, will play a vital role in achieving this goal.

Speaking on the impact of Dangote Petrochemicals’ listing, Kwairanga highlighted NGX’s commitment to facilitating growth and investment in Nigeria’s financial markets.

“Dangote Refinery has already applied for their petrochemical listing, and we are working to ensure their inclusion before the end of the second quarter,” Kwairanga stated.

Recognising the strategic importance of a robust capital market, he stressed that enhanced market participation can drive long-term infrastructure development, improve business formalisation, and reflect Nigeria’s true economic potential.

However, he noted with concern that Nigeria’s stock market capitalisation remains below 20 per cent of its GDP, whereas South Africa’s Johannesburg Stock Exchange exceeds its national GDP.

Kwairanga further stressed the role of digital innovation in increasing market participation, citing the launch of NGX Invest, a digital platform designed to simplify primary market offers and expand financial literacy, particularly among students, youths, and members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

He added that NGX is actively engaging institutional investors such as pension fund administrators and mutual funds, while also developing advanced financial products including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for diversified investment, derivatives to enhance market sophistication, and ethical investment instruments, catering to specific investor preferences.

Kwairanga highlighted ongoing efforts to integrate African capital markets, enabling investors in Nigeria to trade shares listed on stock exchanges in other African countries such as Ghana, saying that this cross-border linkage aims to create a more connected, robust financial ecosystem across the continent.
