EKITI STATE – First and foremost, this is a great achievement! The first of its kind in Nigeria & Sub-Saharan Africa. EKSU has launched a financial dealing room. Kudos to EKSU, the state govt., & Nigeria at large! EKSU is a place worth touring to see how things work.
Nigeria’s financial system must be upgraded to the highest standard, particularly in investment dealings, with a strong focus on private sector participation. I hope the govt. recognizes the benefits of creating an enabling environment for investment opportunities.
This, on the other hand, will help achieve key macroeconomic objectives. As well as people investing in private sector stocks & debentures. I see greater financial market liquidity compared to the traditional banking system if the sector is properly structured.
If Eurobonds happen to be traded in our stock market, I see this contributing to the strengthening of our local currency. How I wish the govt. could see things from this perspective!
I envision Nigeria becoming the finance hub of Africa if world-class professional finance exams are properly implemented. This would eliminate the need for ICAN as a certification for finance professionals, ensuring a more specialized and globally competitive financial industry.
