The management of Central Securities Clearing System (CSCS) Plc has promised to continue to deliver excellent services to all market participants.
This assurance was given by the nation’s capital market infrastructure at the Banks’ and Other Financial Institutions (BAFI) Awards 2020 held over the weekend in Lagos.
CSCS was announced as the Securities Services Company of the year at the eighth edition of the prestigious event.
At the seventh edition of BAFI Awards in 2019, CSCS was declared the winner of the Continental Leader in Post-trade and Custody Services category.
But despite these accolades, CSCS has said it will not rest on its oars, promising to do better because today’s best can always be better tomorrow, according to the Divisional Head, Shared Services at CSCS, Mrs Onome Komolafe, who received the award on behalf of the company.
Mrs Komolafe, who represented the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of CSCS Plc, Mr Haruna Jalo-Waziri, at the event, stated that “this award strengthens the self-motivation to sustainably enhance our delivery of excellent services to all market participants.
“We are driven by the kaizen philosophy of always doing better, as we continue to seek innovative ways of creating and delivering value for all market participants and ultimately the growing investors in the Nigerian capital market.”
She further said, “the management of CSCS is humbled by the recognition that this award reflects and would like to thank the organisers, judges and more importantly the capital market participants, who have consistently and objectively distinguished us.
“As we dedicate this award to our loyal participants and all investors in the Nigerian capital market, we reckon this award is a clarion call to continue to do better.”
“As your preferred market infrastructure, we are committed to investing in the right technologies and best talent, as we seek to sustainably create mutual value for all stakeholders whilst deepening the Nigerian capital market for inclusive economic growth,” she added.
The BAFI Awards are adjudged the most rigorous, prestigious and transparent awards programme in the Nigerian financial services industry because BusinessDay, which organises the event, implements an audit-based approach in the evaluation process, meticulously reviewing each shortlisted company’s financial and non-financial achievements, commissioned customer perception surveys and analyst opinion, amongst other valuable information sources, which supports the objective assessment of all shortlisted award nominees in a longitudinal study.
