The NASDAQ stock market opened for operations in 1971. This officially marked the first automated exchange market in the world.

NASDAQ remains an active stock market and currently it is ranked as the second largest stock exchange in the world.

Ringing of the closing bell is a popular tradition at NASDAQ, which officially marks the end of a trading day.

The president of American Business Council Nigeria, Sops Ideriah, said the dialogue will be pivotal in driving stronger relations with the U.S. and Nigeria.

Ideriah said American and Nigerian high-level corporate leaders of companies like the Lagos Free Zone, TGI, American Tower Company, Procter & Gamble, Flutterwave and Google will also be at the event.
