The Group Managing Director of VFD Group Plc, Mr Nonso Okpala, has been appointed to the board of the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Group Plc.
Mr Okpala is joining the board of the parent company of the nation’s main stock exchange, NGX Limited, as a non-executive director.
His appointment was approved at the 62nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the NGX Group held in Lagos last Friday.
The VFD Group’s chief is expected to help the organisation grow with his wealth of knowledge and experience in financial markets.
He is very vast in investments, and he was chosen to be part of the board to enable him to provide innovative direction and counsel to the NGX Group’s mission to provide investors with a robust, stable, and transparent trading platform.
“It is an honour to join the NGX Group board. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of the financial markets.
“I am eager to work with NGX Group’s talented team and to support their efforts to increase investor confidence, transparency, and efficiency,” Mr Okpala commented on his appointment.
Mr Okpala’s appointment followed NGX Group shareholders’ confidence in his commitment and dedication to ensuring that the firm plays a leading role in the nation’s economic development in line with the current administration’s push for accelerated economic rejuvenation and inclusive prosperity.
Since his appointment as the GMD of VFD Group, he has positioned the organisation as one of the country’s leading sector-agnostic investment firms.
