President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended the remarkable growth of Nigeria’s capital market since his administration came into office more than two years ago.
The President, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, made the remarks in Brazil during a meeting with the Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Board of Directors of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc.
He described the performance of the capital market as a clear reflection of renewed investor confidence in his administration’s economic reforms and bold policy measures.
President Tinubu praised the leadership of both the Nigerian Exchange Group and the SEC for their dedication, stressing that his government remains fully committed to strengthening Nigeria’s financial ecosystem and deepening capital market development.
In his response, SEC Director-General, Dr. Emomotimi Agama, lauded the President’s reforms and highlighted the signing of the Investment and Securities Act 2025, which he described as one of Africa’s most comprehensive legal frameworks for capital markets.
