The CEO said this shows the positive impact of the stock market on government revenue and shareholder returns.

Chiemeka spoke on the resilience and reliability of the NGX, highlighting the diverse investment opportunities provided by the exchange, including equities, fixed income, derivatives, and other Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) like Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).

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.
