The Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group, Dr. Umaru Kwairanga, has highlighted the crucial role of the media in the country’s capital market.
Speaking at the ongoing 2025 Capital Market Correspondents Association of Nigeria (CAMCAN) Workshop, Kwairanga underscored the significance of credible and informed communication in supporting regulatory reforms.
The workshop, themed “Regulatory Reforms: ISA 2025 and Nigeria’s Investment Climate,” is focused on the recent reforms encapsulated in the Investment and Securities Act (ISA) 2025.
The reforms aim to strengthen market governance, boost investor protection, and enhance overall market competitiveness.
Kwairanga restated the commitment of the Nigerian Exchange Group to supporting these reforms, citing the company’s efforts to expand market access, improve transparency, and leverage technology to democratise investing for Nigerians.
He highlighted the success of NGX Invest, the company’s digital platform that has enabled millions of investors to participate in capital-raising exercises directly through their devices.
The NGX chairman said the role of journalists and correspondents covering the capital market is critical in ensuring that reforms are understood, market developments are accurately reported, and public trust is maintained.
He charged CAMCAN members to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, accuracy, and integrity in their reporting.
