The immediate past Governor of Ogun State, Mr Ibikunle Amosun, has been invited to the 2020 edition of the yearly conference of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS).
The event is slated for November 4 and 5 and is themed Navigating through the Storms: Reenergising the Economy through the Capital Market.
According to the stockbrokers’ body, Mr Amosun, who is currently a Senator at the National Assembly and doubles as the Chairman, Senate Committee on Capital Market, will attend the programme as a special guest as well as the Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Mr Lamido Yuguda.
The conference, in its 24th edition, the CIS said, will be virtual as a result of the present global pandemic caused by COVID-19, which has made large gatherings almost impossible because of the transmission of the virus, which has infected over 40 million persons globally.
The CIS said this year’s conference, which will require intending participants to register before the event HERE, is focused on enhancing the knowledge required to drive development and growth amongst our members and other key stakeholders in the Nigerian capital market.
At the end of the conference, our goal is to inspire innovation and business creativity that will be beneficial to CIS members and other stakeholders, the organisation stated.
The CIS is a professional body with a statutory responsibility of regulating the practice of stockbroking in Nigeria. To practice investment and stockbroking in Nigeria, a certification must be obtained from the institute.
