Gifford said: “Nigeria is probably the most exciting opportunity for capital markets development in the world. We in London have seen clearly how an effective, transparent and well-governed capital market –for bonds as well as stocks –can transform a country’s fortunes for the better, reducing dependence on bank capital and making investmentsecurities available to a much broader range of individuals and institutions. I am greatly looking forward to being part of this project,”
Mike Purves, UK Acting Deputy High Commissioner/Director Trade & Investment, said, “This is the start of the conversation that we want.We are delighted to have Aig-Imoukhuede on board to lead the Nigerian Stock Exchange. This is not a talking show but to get real deliverables and kick-off evidenced in the agreement we signed with the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).”
