NGX Group CEO Advocates Gender Equity for Better Governance and Profitability

Temi Popoola, CEO of NGX Group, stressed the significance of gender equity in governance and profitability during the 2025 WIMBIZ Annual Conference. Popoola highlighted the milestone of having no all-male boards among NGX 30 companies, signaling increased gender balance in Nigeria's largest listed firms.

He emphasized the role of gender-diverse boards in providing better oversight, ethical judgment, and investor confidence. Popoola's remarks align with Arunma Oteh's call for women to take ownership of Nigeria's progress.

NGX Group has prioritized gender inclusivity through initiatives like the UN Women's Empower Principles and the IFC Nigeria2Equal program.
