The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Limited and the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS) have agreed to engage the incoming administration on policies that will reposition the capital market for growth.
The chief executive of the NGX, Mr Temi Popoola, said this when he was inducted by the institute as a fellow on Monday, May 8, 2023.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Mr Bola Tinubu will be sworn in as the president of Nigeria on Monday, May 29, 2023.
He was declared the winner of the presidential election held on Saturday, February 25, 2023, by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
However, his victory is being contested at the court by the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Atiku Abubakar, and the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi.
In his acceptance speech, Mr Popoola thanked the organisation’s board of fellows and the full council members for the great honour and pledged to continue to uphold the institute’s core values.
“I am extremely delighted because I am emotionally connected to this market and I am grateful for the support received from CIS since I became the CEO of NGX.
“At NGX, we strive to always incorporate CIS in our strategy as the Institute ranks high among our critical stakeholders,” he said.
Delivering his welcome address at the event, the President and Chairman of the Council of the CIS, Mr Oluwole Adeosun, stated that the fellowship of the institute was the highest category of membership.
“For a member of the Institute to become a Fellow, the individual must, in addition to professional excellence, pass the moral and integrity tests with flying colours. This gentleman has done just that,” he said.
