ACCEPTANCE SPEECH AT THE CONFERMENT OF FELLOWSHIP OF CAPITAL MARKET ACADEMICS OF NIGERIA ON TUESDAY 30th JUNE 2026 AT THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION HEAD OFFICE ABUJA.
I humbly accept this award of the Fellowship of the Capital Market Academics of Nigeria (CMAN).
I share the joy of this award with my fellow Board Members, Management & Staff at the Nigerian Exchange Group NGX and my fellow capital market operators because this award is in recognition of our collective work which has transformed the capital market from the lows of five to 10 years into a vibrant, more liquid market that more Nigerians and global investors wish to partake in.
The Association having taken off just five years ago but it has already taken its place in the capital market ecosystem through its programmes which seek to bring academic rigour to the practical workings of the capital market.
I thank the leadership of the Association led by the energetic Professor Uche Uwaleke for the honour and pledge my commitment to the vision and work of CMAN.
Thank you.
Alhaji (Dr) Umaru Kwairanga
Chairman, NGX Group
