NGX, Katsina State Partner on Economy, Infrastructure

WELCOME REMARKS BY ALHAJI Dr. UMARU KWAIRANGA CHAIRMAN NIGERIA EXCHANGE GROUP (NGX) FOR THE OCCASION OF KATSINA STATE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR H.E. DIKKO UMAR RADDA VISIT/CLOSING GONG ON THURSDAY 30th JANUARY 2025 AT THE TRADING FLOOR OF NGX. 

Protocol. 

It gives me great pleasure to welcome His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Katsina State to the trading floor of the Nigerian Exchange.

Your Excellency, let me state from the onset that I consider myself a bona fide indigene of Katsina State because I have been raised and mentored by a prominent elder statesman from Katsina State, Alhaji Dr. Umaru Mutallab, CON.

Alhaji Mutallab has been a father to me, and I know how much he loves his state and its people and I share that same fondness for Nigeria’s Home of Hospitality. I was therefore very pained when your state was affected by the insecurity that spread to the North West zone of Nigeria in the last decade. I felt the pain of your hardworking farmers and traders who suffered as bandits ran riot in a state known for peace.

Those were trying times but I am very happy to note that under your leadership and that of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our able security chiefs, the worse is over in Katsina State and most of the North West. It is a great achievement and I commend your focused and decisive leadership which is largely responsible for the improvement.

However, the even bigger challenges of rebuilding the State’s economy and infrastructure lie ahead and that is why you are here today to outline your vision for Katsina State and to seek the partnership of the capital market in realising that vision.

Let me assure you that the Nigerian Exchange Group and the capital market in general is able, willing and ready to play that role. We have very versatile and experienced professionals ready to package the appropriate funding tools and strategies for your state and a deep pool of capital providers who are interested in economically sound projects that will be mutually beneficial to the state and the capital market.

It is therefore my pleasure to welcome you to our trading floor and invite you to close today’s trading with the ringing of the gong and to formally unveil your vision for the state to the capital market.

Once again, welcome to NGX, Your Excellency.

 

Alh (Dr) Umaru Kwairanga

Group Chairman NGX
