Gone are those days when you buy securities and you go to sleep, or you have to start reading the newspaper or wait for news to know what is happening to the stocks. So, this time around, you have a device that you can use to monitor your stock at any time.” Babalola added that investors’ education is key, and this is what the products will address.

The head, Investment Advisory at Meristem Stockbrokers Limited, Temitope Oludimu said, Meristem Securities has been in the industry for over two decades, growing her clients’ wealth and enhancing their financial wellbeing.

She noted that the Stockbroking subsidiary of the Group provides easy access to online brokerage accounts allowing clients to monitor trades in real-time via MeriTrade and the first online stock trading platform in Nigeria commenced in 2014.

The panel session speaking on the theme for the event emphasised the importance of investors’ education in the capital market.

Head, Data and Digital Innovation, NGX, Afeez Ramoni stated that the public can now conveniently receive market information and commence account opening processes through their mobile phones. This marks a significant stride in NGX’s commitment to democratise access to investment opportunities and promote retail investors participation through digital channels for accessing the capital market.

He anticipated that the USSD will enhance market accessibility and contribute significantly to the broader financial inclusion landscape in Nigeria.

Also, Martha Ibrahim of NGX Group said that financial inclusion is really about inclusivity and creating access to financial services to investors. She stated that this is really important for a vibrant capital market and also the country’s economic development in general.

According to her, “with the coming up of this initiative, integrating USSD with NGX, we also understand the importance of technology as a key financial enabler for financial inclusion. We are simplifying access to the stock markets and reducing barriers to entry. This would also promote a significant increase in the level of financial inclusion we have currently within the capital markets.

“By leveraging on this investor education and simplifying access to the markets, this validates that NGX is on the right step towards driving financial inclusion within the Nigerian capital markets.”
