He said the figure demonstrates the pivotal role of the stock market in enabling capital formation and investment in the economy.

Chiemeka said that the substantial tax contributions made by the top five listed companies amounted to over N362 billion to the federal government, with dividends of N962 billion paid.

“Our market continued to be resilient in providing stakeholders with a platform to raise capital and invest. Year to date, NGX has facilitated the needed financing of more than N3.85 trillion in capital raised by governments and corporates across various asset classes,” he said.

He maintained that the investments in technology by NGX aimed at ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted transaction experience for investors underscore the Exchange’s commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction.

Chiemeka explained that, following returns recorded by the market in the last five years, the NGX remains a dependable platform for investors.
