The Governor of Kwara State, Mr AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has said the state hopes to gain immensely from the emergence of one of its sons, Mr Olatunde Amolegbe, as the President of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS).
Mr Amolegbe was recently installed as the 11th President and Chairman of the Governing Board of the reputable institution, taking over from Mr Adedapo Adekoje.
While congratulating him, the Governor said, “His leadership of the prestigious organisation at this time is a boost to Kwara State’s efforts to woo various bodies and investors to the state.”
According to Mr AbdulRazaq in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr Rafiu Ajakaye, “Such efforts are backed with government’s investments in basic amenities and infrastructure, retooling of legislations to support ease of doing business, and a commitment to the rule of law.”
He described the election of Mr Amolegbe, an indigene of Okeya-Ipo, Kwara State, to the position as “another evidence of the state’s rich human capital potentials.”
“We are indeed proud to identify with Mr Amolegbe on this feat which underscores his professional and ethical standing among his peers in the country and across the world.
“The government heartily congratulates Mr Amolegbe, wishes him a successful tenure, and would extend to him the necessary support to make his headship of the CIS mutually beneficial for the body and the people of Kwara State.”
Established by the Act 105 of 1995, the CIS is a non-profit institute that provides training for professionals in stockbroking, securities and investment, fund and portfolio management, asset management, investment management, and related fields. The body also regulates and disciplines members of the profession.
