Mr. Daniel Braie, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Linkage Assurance Plc has been named among Top 25 CEOs whose companies impacted positively on investors on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) in the 2018 financial year.

The Top 25 CEOs & Next Bulls Awards organised by Business Day Media Limited in partnership with the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) which debuted in 2012 seeks to recognise chief executive officers of institutions who distinguished themselves by adding value to the investment of shareholders.

“These companies have been honoured for contributing to the growth of the market capitalisation of quoted firms in 2018, inspite of the overall market performance ending in the negative territory, while others were celebrated for inculcating good corporate governance, innovations and raising the standards of their organisations to a point where it would be seamless if they were to be listed on the NSE today, the organisers said.

Mr. Okanlawon Adelagun, Executive Director, Technical, Linkage Assurance Plc who represented the Managing Director/CEO, Daniel Braie received the award on behalf of the company.
