President Bola Tinubu yesterday met with the Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Dr. Emomotimi Agama, and the Board of Directors of the Nigerian Exchange Group in Brazil, where he praised what he described as the remarkable growth of Nigeria’s capital market under his administration.
He attributed the surge in market capitalisation and trading volumes to investor confidence in his reforms, stressing that his government would
continue to unlock capital, protect investors, and drive innovation in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
During the meeting, SEC chief Agama lauded the newly signed Investment and Securities Act 2025 as one of Africa’s most comprehensive market laws, while NGX Chairman Umaru Kwairanga said trading volumes had nearly tripled since Tinubu took office.
He urged the fast-tracking of state-owned firm listings, including NNPC Limited, and invited the President to visit the NGX trading floor in Lagos.
