NGX Advocates for Capital Market to Drive Wealth Creation

The Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) has stated that the capital market must play a pivotal role in driving inclusive wealth creation, which is essential for the strength of the Nigerian economy. During the 2026 NairaMetr Capital Market Award held in Lagos, Popoola highlighted that the ability to create wealth is no longer in question; rather, the focus should be on how to ensure participation and the impact of wealth creation.

He noted that global investors are increasingly directing capital towards markets that demonstrate transparency, resilience, and sound governance. The NGX aims to mobilize capital products that support innovation, create jobs, and drive long-term economic development, addressing regulatory concerns and improving market operations.
